New Members are being Recruited
Our chapter is open to new members and would like to grow. The optimum number is between 30 and 35. Generally we lose members because they have become too busy with their business to attend our weekly meeting. We wish them well, and are glad that we, as their Friends, helped them. Through the experience of our chapter and affiliated chapters, we know of several categories of businesses that contribute and are "a good fit for our type of organization. We look for centers of influence that can help all of our members grow their businesses.
Join our Group
After you have attended two meetings you must apply for membership to continue receiving the benefits of membership and attending the meetings. Initial dues are $125.00 with your application. The monthly fee is $35.00 that pays for continental style breakfast and a donation to the All Saints Catholic Church for the use of their facility.
A prospective member may attend two meetings as a visitor. Prospective Members must complete the application, and submit it with full payment to the Membership Committee for review. The Membership Committee will complete the screening process and notify the prospective member of acceptance or non-acceptance before the next meeting. Upon acceptance, the Membership Committee will notify the President who will announce the new member at the next meeting, and forward the payment for annual dues to the Treasurer.
Upon joining, new members should bring at least 50 business cards to the initial weekly meeting to distribute to members. The new member will receive referral slips and multiple business cards from all other members to retain and use for passing referrals.
