Yes, this does mean just come by! We have speakers on subjects of interest and importance at nearly every meeting. Due to the nature of our club, we have close-up and personnel interaction with our speakers. About every three months, we have an open meeting where spouses, families, and guests are invited. To see news about our club, see our newsletters. It is amazing the quality of the speakers we get that help us understand our world. We are a small enough club that we get a chance to satisfy our personal questions and have private introductions. These speakers help us find new and important means of providing service.
