Club Service-- focuses on club to make it strong
More social events
Bring a friend
Breakfast meetings at different places-- e.g., catered at a member's work place
Vocational Service-- fosters high ethical standards in business
More speakers from our members of our club to get to know members
Focus on speakers in business (not government) to get a pulse on what is going on
Interactive speakers and non-vocational (fun)-- e.g., yoga
Community Service-- no comments
International Service-- no comments
Youth Service-- no comments
