Gentlemen,
      We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that 2026 brings good health and happiness to you and yours !
We are 9 members shy of our full club complement of 150. If our membership shortage continues, we will run at a deficit, meaning that spending for some events will be negatively impacted. We don't want that to happen! We need everyone's help to talk up the club with friends and neighbors and to invite some prospects to attend a meeting to learn more about us.
 I would also encourage you to revisit our website thecatawbans.com to review the improvements made by Dave Scott and John Brunetti. Interest group leaders can now edit upcoming event details and group information themselves.

We'd also like to expand the number of Interest Groups and encourage greater participation. See the website for some of the ideas that have been put forth and let us know if you have any other
suggestions. Thanks,
                                  Jim
