Why Join a Club? Submitted by,Beth Allen, Dawsonville, GA
· a club is a uniting force for people with a common passion
· a club empowers people to do more together than they could on their own--there is strength
in numbers
· allows people to use their individual gifts together with others who may have strengths in
different areas to further their ambitions
· gives recognition to people for their contributions and accomplishments
· provides camaraderie for people who have similar interests
· gives you a voice in its governance
· provides a venue for education--ours and the publications -- we learn from each other
· promotes a feeling of accomplishment—and not one of us is as smart as all of us are
· If no one joined, there would be no shows, no fresh ideas
· everyone is a necessary part--without all of its parts there is a hole in the whole
· allows strong and fast friendships to flourish--respect is necessary
