We are currently looking at a mediocre month of recruiting and retaining that has left us in poor position to maintain our June strength levels.  As of this afternoon, we are looking at a loss of 510 members.  This is a tough pill to take.

  Please encourage your folks to submit any applications they may have over the next few days to soften the blow.

Vice-Membership Chair Bob(RH) Winkler send me an unhappy memo this morning.  His message was simple, “Yeomans-Get er done!”.  So please let me satisfy the Bob. He’s a rough and tough customer when he’s riled!
