Brava, Carol! Board meetings are the best way to inspire people between

Well said Richard.  You are right, we have to remember that while we are not
all 
presidents, we are valued members and should be active participants, while 
motivating others to do the same.  As an organization, we are only as strong
as 
our weakest link............let us be strong together and help to strengthen
the 
weak spots with team work and elbow grease.  I don't know about you, but I
hope 
to see Ohio maintaining a strong, active role in the organization for many
years 
to come and we can only do that together, marching together, and heard as
one 
strong voice to make a difference.  I hope to see MANY people at the Board 
meeting!  Lets work on increasing those numbers!

I often wonder if we understand what it means to be committed to an
organization. While I am not the state president but  make it a point to do
whatever he request of me. 

There are things that I fill a great deal of responsibility for.

I think as a chapter president it is very important to get every member that
wants to attend the state board meeting there. It is also part of my
personal commitment to encourage others to do the same. Time to me is worth
just as much as the dollar. You know when you go to work they normally pay
you in some measure of time. What I guess I am trying to say come to the
board meeting and bring everyone you can. When we come together it is a
renewing of the movement and numbers do count in many ways. I would like to
start here by saying to the presidents to bring everyone from your chapter
that can come. But even greater than that lets get the word  out about our
state convention. My friends the doctor has began to lay the ground work.
When we are telling others about the activities of our organization then the
word travels far.  We need to get motivated and get people there. Richard
