Summary of Talk
Today’s speaker was dynamic.  She urged each of us to recruit one new member and to energize ourselves.  Her mission is to glue our members together.  She suggested to “ask yourself” what you can do for your club.  What ideas can we each propose?  Can we develop and pursue new goals? Chemistry is important for our members to work together.  Let’s try.
