Regroup, Re-energize

Last week there were only 4 members attending. Could we get three times that many at our meeting on Thursday, June 29? We need to have 11 members present to have the quorum necessary to elect our executive. We have people willing to let their names stand. Let's say thank you to our outgoing executive with enthusiasm and welcome the incoming executive team with a resounding cheer. They deserve it!

Marc Achieves CTM in Style

On June 1, Marc's 10th speech tackled the very challenging topic of where we go when we die. He pulled it off with his usual poise, and left us with the very vivid image of checking out of a hotel with our pyjamas on. Thanks to that wonderful metaphor, I will always remember that I should "get dressed" in my life and should listen to my soul when deciding what I should cloth myself in.
Congratulations Marc on achieving your CTM and thank you for your inspiring gift.
