Cooking Up Membership
A new year, a new theme and a new chance to reach our membership goal. Let’s strive for reaching 100% in membership and a 90% renewal rate. We need to make a concerted effort in trying to reach 3 & 4 star status. It can be done, with a little bit of effort. I will award prizes for the top region in membership throughout the year. I would like the squadrons to start using mysal.org to send and/or make changes to their membership and also pay for their membership
dues. Let’s have fun and gitter done!
Yours in Service,
Larry Ford
