From the PresidentThe current state of the club is very good. We have had an influx of new members, all interested in us because of the variety of our activity group. They continue to provide great experiences for members.
Meetings continue to draw good attendance, averaging around 60 people. I’ve found that the people I have invited as guest speakers have all heard of the club and were interested in telling us about their organizations. It has been a nice synergy. As will happen from time to time, I want to remind you that this is my last year as president. I am getting this out there so that someone will step forward and run for this position in next year’s election. I will be more than happy to mentor anyone interested in becoming president. You won’t be going into the job unprepared. But warm weather is with us, and outdoor activities will be very pleasant for the next few months. Take the time to enjoy as much of our beautiful area in this coming spring and early summer as you can. - Bob Noble, President Editor's NoteNow that we're back to regular meetings again, here are a few reminders of what to expect.
The monthly coffee meetings start at 9:30 for a half hour of socializing before we sit down for the meeting. If you arrive earlier, be prepared to help with setting up tables and the coffee and pastry service. Raffle items such as regiftable items and concert or sports event tickets are welcome. Tickets are just $1 for one, $2 for three, and $3 for five. Bring magazines to pass along at the Magazine Exchange. Take any that attract your interest. Those left over will be taken to HopeWest’s paper recycling bin. You don’t have to wait for the newsletter to read the minutes of the last meeting. They’re posted on our website gjnewcomers.org as soon as our secretary submits them. You can also refer to the calendar on the club’s website for activity dates, times and locations.
