Treasury Report:
$1,270 in past due membership dues. If you owe for dues, please get your checks in to Mona. Current bank balance $5,716.08 but we still owe for our meals at Canterbury and there is some outstanding income from Canterbury we haven’t deposited yet.
Meeting Recap : Minutes from previous meeting were approved.
Club Service report – 5th Tuesday – Aug 29th Gilberstadt’s Dock Party and it was a great dinner club this past week.
Vocational Service report – Working on dates for speakers on sustainable agriculture and the Germany GSE Team for upcoming meetings.
International Service report – Solar Oven Society meeting – directions and date to be determined. The Mechanical Cows were shipped and most likely will be in customs for about a month before they can be delivered and set up. Plans are already in the works for a trip to Ecuador for our members (perhaps when the GSE Team from our district is there?).
Membership Development – “Why would anyone want to join our crummy old club anyway.”
For Prospective Members:
- Make it easy to engage
- Connect people with their passions
- Focus on outputs
For Existing Members:
No push – just pull selling
It is a Privilege to watch someone connect to their passion
The Aaah moments are addictive
Instead of a SWOT analysis – why not try this grid:
Eliminate |
Raise |
Reduce |
Create |
