A MESSAGE from Your PRESIDENT
Dear Members:
Are you guilty of any of the following seven commandments that can stifle the growth of our ring?
1) Thou shalt always have something else to do when a meeting is called.
2) When thou attendest a meeting, be sure to find fault with the officers and fellow members.
3) Thou shalt decline to hold office, as it is far easier to criticize than to be criticized.
4) If thou shalt be assigned to a committee, fail to serve.
5) If the chairman asks for opinions, thou shalt remain silent -- but thou shalt tell others later what should
have been done.
6) When a few people roll up their sleeves to help things along, thou shalt always grumble that a clique is running
the organization.
7) Thou shalt delay paying the dues as long as possible.
"When the head aches, all the members partake of the pains." Think about this thought more than once! No one
is being accused! You be your own judge and jury!
This club is striving to grow, and be the type of club YOU want it to be. However, to be successful, we must have the full
cooperation of each and every member. Let us hear your ideas. Don't be afraid to express them. Take an active role.
Our group can only be as successful as YOU are successful in your efforts to help foster our growth. Cooperation is necessary
for the continued growth of RING 21. We’re rolling, now. Let's not stop! All together now.....
Julian Cristol, President, RING 21
