Summary of Last Week's Meeting:
Last week we had a Club Assembly where we talked about the Member Survey. President Amy talked about the need to increase our membership. Matt Janes spoke about his idea for a membership drive which involves working with area restaurants by putting a "fish bowl" at their restaurant during lunch on Fridays -- hoping to reach people who are eating lunch out on Fridays. Additionally, JC Burcham spoke about ShrimpFest.
Food service line opens at 11:45 a.m. For those who have business pressure they can arrive at 11:40 a.m. starting with salad, eat at 11:45 a.m. and be gone by 11:50 a.m. and still record for attendance. As you leave, be sure to check with the Secretary to ensure your attendance is recorded.
