Speakers

Let’s learn something. 

Each week, we welcome a guest to join us for our club meeting. These speakers present on a variety of topics from community organizations and service projects, local history, and events.

Service

We are eager to hear how individuals and/or organizations are serving others—locally and globally.

Ideas

We love learning from others and welcome innovative concepts and new perspectives.

Collaboration
