Being human We, the American people, are one We are united through service We are privileged because of those who have sacrificed for us We are to uphold the ideals of this country We are to build spirit through friendships
Being Human We are to build relationships, friendships and business networks We are to use our best energies to build our communities We are to build better conditions for all We are all linked in a special way here today
Being human The connection now never has been or will never be the same again It is like that in every gathering as the combination of people and how they are linked is always changing. Take the opportunity in every gathering to build the connection with others there. Give them the opportunity to have experiences similar to the ones you experience through Exchange
Membership What is membership? Giving opportunity to others Why membership? All humans need to experience giving to others and making connections of belonging Joining a group and going to a meeting once a month has the same impact as doubling one’s pay. (per research in the book Thrive Finding Happiness “The Blue Zones Way” by Dan Buettner)
Membership Are we being selfish if we don’t invite others to join us? I think so! It’s our responsibility to offer this opportunity to everyone
What are we offering?
Our Passion !
