And so we should make an effort  to call them! (I will email all those on this list who we’ve not seen on our calls, and…also to those who were guest, and did not join our division at our 2013 convention meeting.) We will need to divide up this list, and swear to follow-through with a phone contact!!! In fact, how about each one of you make a call to a member you have not talked to for a long time and see what they are doing; encourage them to join our call, and to plan to make it to convention.
