  6. Membership Tips • Never be afraid to ask questions at meetings! Not only does asking questions help you as a new member, it often helps us to gain clarity around a discussion. • Reach out to your fellow members if you have questions before, during or in between meetings. • Don’t be overwhelmed with the work! No one person has to do it all. While we realize that we can accomplish more as a group than alone, remember there are ways to contribute to the success of a project without having to be “on hand” for every moment. • Find your passion within the club! Being a club member allows you the chance to learn about your hidden talents in an encouraging and judgement-free environment.

  7. Clubwoman Collect Keep us, oh God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seeking. May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face, wtihout self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgement and always generous. Let us take time for all things; and to grow calm, serene, gentle. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are at one. And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common human heart of us all. And, oh Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!

  8. Open Q&A Session
