Club Assembly: Pres. Jim spoke on the importance of recruiting more members for the Club, the membership of which is about 40. “Can every one of us find just one good, potential member?” Jim would also like to see more social events where members can get better acquainted with one another and more interaction with the community. Fundraising ideas ranged from Street Art Galleries, like in Newburyport, where artists buy sections of street or sidewalk in which to create their works, to Rubber Duck Races and Helicopter-Hole-in-Ones, where golf balls are dropped from a helicopter. Jim asked, “Who doesn’t like a helicopter?” (I don’t!) The idea behind these last two events is that they invite new donors because of the small price of entry. PP Dan B. would like to build a database of information on past donors, so that email or direct mail promotions could be done for future events, as well as for thanking them. Pres. Jim would like to have a “thank you event” for donors, as well as a quarterly update of what’s going on with the Club. We currently send the Bulletin to members and “friends,” such as former speakers.
