Last week we heard from Jeff DeLoach, President of the Chattanooga Times Free Press.  It was good to hear that our local paper is still reaching so many people through multiple platforms.  It was also a very nice gesture by Mr. DeLoach to offer our club a free 1/2 page ad in the spring for our annual golf tournament!  In addition, we made the announcement that the Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory and Florist will be our $7,500.00 Platinum Sponsor for our 2019 Golf Tournament!  Special thanks to Stephen Pike!

This week we will be hearing from Dr. John Cosgrove, Executive Director of the AEGIS Law Enforcement Foundation.  Dr. Cosgrove is a West Point graduate, retired U.S. Army Major, longtime resident of Chattanooga, and a respected member of the financial and banking community. Outside of his West Point education, Dr. Cosgrove holds a Ph.D. in Leadership from Andrews University and a Master of Science in Education and Counseling from the University of Wisconsin.

Dr. Cosgrove has been uniquely tied to the law enforcement profession his entire life as his

father was the longest serving police officer in the history of the Michigan State Police. His son-
in-law is also an FBI Agent.  You don't want to miss this Wednesday!

Finally, I have attached 2 different files for your use:

1.  The classification file is to help us all as we recruit new members to our club.  We want not only diversity in ethnicity, gender and age, but also in employment classifications.  The file lists all of our current members and their classification.  However, you can see that we have many different classifications in which we don't have any representation.  This can be a great tool in recruiting new members.

2.  The 2017-18 One Page Year End Report is a 1 page quick summary that can be printed/emailed to potential new members, as well as, potential sponsors for our annual golf tournament!

There is also a 7 Page Year End Report that I will send you tomorrow.  The file is to large to send through the Club Runner email system.  I would like to give a special shout out to CHP Rotary Members, Beverlee Bartley, Linda Lee, Jim Glass and Tyler Spry for putting the Year End Reports together.  They did an outstanding job!

I hope you all have a great week, and I look forward to seeing you all this Wednesday!

President Chris
