NOTES FROM DAVID         
 
The Nominations Committee will meet soon to select members for the Club Board
If you've ever thought about making a bigger difference, now is the time. Let Keith know if you'd like to serve. Our club's potential is extraordinary -- and your leadership can help turn that potential into real, lasting impact for thousands of people.
 
It doesn't take much -- just a willingness to contribute, an openness to new ideas, and a passion for building a stronger, better club. With just a few hours each week, you can help shape the future of something truly special. Together, we can continue to grow, inspire, and serve in ways that matter.
