I was enjoying a pretty tame winter we were experiencing until February rolled around. It has felt like ever since we switched our calendars we have had one winter warning after the next. I hope everyone is staying safe and warm!
In January we had a wonderful monthly meeting with an amazing turn out. We enjoyed seeing so many friends and colleagues, new and old, in the audience. We would like to thank Michelle Klegon for providing us with such valuable information. Our February meeting is sure to be just as educational! We will be having Julia Pawlenty who will be speaking with us about suicide prevention. You will not want to miss this so if you haven't already mark down February 25th on your calendar for our monthly membership meeting. We look forward to seeing you there!
The amazing monthly meeting topics have been bringing larger crowds to our monthly meetings. With the growth that we have experienced we wanted to share with everyone a growing pain that we have been experiencing. We have received feedback that some of our members have been frustrated because they want to hear all of the wonderful information our speakers have to share but that our meetings are running over and they have other commitments so they can't stay over. We would like to respect everyone's time so we have made some adjustments to our meeting structure. In an effort to make sure we have enough time for Networking at the beginning of the meeting and time for Introductions we are adding 10 minutes to our meeting time. So we will be starting Networking at 2:20pm and Introductions at 2:40pm. We are hoping this will alleviate some of the crunch that we currently experiencing. We would also like to ask for some help from each of our members as well. If each of you could please limit your introductions to your name and company's name that would be greatly appreciated. This will help keep the flow of the meeting going so we can respect the speaker's time and the time of each and every one of our members. Thanks in advance for your help!
As a reminder we are in the renewal process for 2016. If you haven't renewed yet you can easily renew online at www.seniorworkers.org or at the meeting in February.
