<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I wish our chapter to request answers to recent service problems and positive ideas instead of complaining about past service problems.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If any chapter has suggestions about positive future changes, please present these requests with a polite and positive attitude. I do not wish to have our chapter develop a negative image of grumbling old

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regardless of our recording format, I will request that any member wishing to talk during our chapter meetings first state clearly their name and speak loudly and clearly. I urge other members to stay silent
