PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE MAY MEETINGS IN PERSON AT THE ARK MEMBERSHIP SURVEY RESULTS
Men,
this pandemic has not defeated our resolve. The Men's Club of Grosse Pointe will be better than ever before, and our Board of Directors is making sure of it. You can already see the difference in the way the Newsletter is presented.
It is hoped that the speakers that have and will be presented meet with your approval and enjoyment: Elliot Macfarlane (the Scotch guru) on May 11 followed by Dan Aitken (our resident insurance expert) on May 25 at the Ark beginning at 11:00 am. I hope you can come.
Please call in or email your RSVP as soon as possible. (See Attendance article on page 8). Lunch will cost $20. There is ample parking, and an elevator is available for those who need or desire it. The Chorale will not be able to sing en masse, but we may have a soloist perform, separated from the attendees, God Bless America and/ or another selection.
Your Board is eagerly looking forward to this first actual meeting since the pandemic began and I sincerely hope you are as well. The survey is completed and the results follow:
What prompted you to join the Men's Club?
Respondents said:
Speakers - 80%
Chorale - 80%
Camaraderie with fellow members - 60%
Sub Clubs - 30%
Location of meetings 30%
No one indicated a displeasure with the Club or its activities. 75% wanted the present schedule of 2 meetings/ month to continue 75% felt the dress code should remain of a jacket and tie with 25% suggesting Business Casual (Jacket, but no requirement of a tie) 70% wanted the present age requirement of 55 to remain.
We will use these survey results in planning and fabricating the Club's future. Thank you to all those members who participated in guiding our coarse ahead. I look forward to seeing you at The Ark. Bring a guest.
James Callahan
President
