We had a pleasantly high number of members take advantage of the online survey we provided. Our hope is that this upward trend towards completing the survey online continues for a number of reasons. But we also wanted to send out paper copies of the survey as well. However, this response was very disappointing to say the least. Of the 220 or so we sent out, we only received 39 back. This is a waste of money (postage, envelopes, labels) for the Club, not to mention the time it takes for our volunteers to put it all together. Our hope is that next year, if a member wishes to complete a paper survey, they can stop by the office to pick one up. We continue to provide club tours to potential members and have had a few of them submit applications. Our goal was to hit the magic three hundred number, and we are really close, but we have suffered a number of resignations as of late. But we will strive to close out the year strongly with the help of membership spreading the good word about all the positive changes made this year. 12
