Philosophy:

  • “WIN-WIN” ATTITUDE OF CO-OPERATION RATHER THAN COMPETITION.

  • Pay for luncheons within the first two-weeks of the month and if unable to attend a luncheon meeting during the prepaid month, be prepared to either forfeit the money or get a substitute to take your place.
  • When invited to serve as a Board Member, take responsibility and recognize the opportunity in accepting this position.
  • Forfeiture of membership when the Member has more than 12 absences )15 allowed if guidelines followed as listed under Attendance) in a calendar year; when the member is in arrears for one month’s dues and luncheon fees; or when the Member’s business practices are unethical; as determined by the Board.
