Each member is responsible for hosting the program for the meeting on the date shown below.  If you have a conflict with the date, please contact me as soon as possible.  At least two weeks prior to your program date, please notify me as to whom will be speaking and the topic for the program. Please check this page periodically for any changes.  New members that come into the club may replace some who cannot host a program on the date listed.  Otherwise, new members will be added at the end of the list.  If a club assembly happens to be schedule on the day you have a program, you will not need to have a program for that day, but we will try to work you into the schedule at a later date.  We ask you also give a short (3 minutes) "classification talk" about yourself and what they do vocationally, in the community, and in the club.
