This club brings him back down to life, a huge part of his heart wants to give back. Blessed to have everything he has in his life. He appreciates all the members & everything they have done. 

Shannon, today is all about membership. What we are doing differently this year: we’ve created a membership committee. Our club seems to gain a few, lose a few. It’s not just about bringing in people but keeping the members we have here. We need new ideas! Creating a mentor program, and a welcoming committee. Change up the table layout at meetings, change up the food every now & then. If you have ideas, reach out to Shannon. He wants to hear them! Always more room for improvement to make the club better!
