A Message from Mike "The Prez"
"Many hands make light work" is true with our club's projects. The Chili Feed is soon approaching and Don Johnson will need a lot of help selling tickets and serving the many customers. We are the host club this year. Let's help Don and show everyone what a good club we have.
As you read this newsletter you will see a few changes and some new ideas from the Board. We want the members to get involved, so please give us your input. We need your ideas for these new things. So let us know, it makes all of our jobs that much easier.
Bring a guest to the next meeting.; we need new members.

Notes from the February Board Meeting
- The Board decided to solicit for Project Eliminate only during he first meeting of each month. Mike made that announcement at the full meeting.
- The process of mailing Newsletters to members who have resigned due to health issues was started last month. Newsletters went to Jim & Naurine Watson and to Jack Colquohoun.
- Arlen Books has agreed to coordinate the "Mayo Volunteers" project.
- Mike asked the Board if our Club wanted to nominate one of our members for the Region Star Award. He suggested that instead of pursuing that award, Our Club should have its own recognition of members who the Board feels are making a significant contribution to the Club. His recommendation was approved by the Board.
- Dave Paxton informed Mike and the Board that following the April 25 meeting, he will no longer be coordinating the meeting programs for our Club and will need to be replaced.
- Mike Doerre finished the meeting with a call for ideas on boosting membership. He is concerned that our club has not added a new member for over a year. Some Board members suggested we might try getting non-members involved in our projects and use that as a conduit to eventual membership. That is how a few members of the Board became members.
- Mike is thinking about making a special push for guests to attend the meeting in April when Don Femlee will be speaking on Project Eliminate.
