MEMBERS PROGRAMS
Each member is responsible for hosting the program for the meeting on the date shown below. If you have a conflict with the date, please contact Rob dispennett and/or Mike Petersen as soon as possible. If you have a speaker lined up please let us know so we can update the board and website, but try and have your speaker planned and noted for updating no less than 2 weeks prior to your assigned date. Please check this page periodically for any changes. New members that come into the club may replace some who cannot host a program on the date listed. Otherwise, new members will be added at the end of the list. On the day you have your program, we ask you also give a short (3 minutes) "classification talk" about yourself and what they do vocationally, in the community, and in the club.
