Taking stock is essential for growth and vibrancy. This reflective practice helps identify what’s working well, areas that need improvement, and what we can do to improve, so we can better serve you with engaging presentations and cultivate a welcoming environment that attracts new members. Ultimately, it helps ensure that our club remains dynamic, relevant, and enjoyable for everyone involved.

We invite you all to share your thoughts on:

• Topics and Speakers: What subjects and speakers would you like to see in 2025?
• Membership Growth: Let's brainstorm creative ideas to increase our membership and welcome new members to our club.
•  Club Improvement: Your feedback is crucial! How can we make the club even better?

Please join us on Wednesday, January 15^th, when we kick off the new year with a breakfast that promises not just a delicious start to your day, but also an opportunity to help shape our club's future. We look forward to your valuable contributions and another fantastic year together!

Invocation: Eric Nelson
