To All Members - Old and New
To do your part, you can:
- Run for office, rather than waiting to see who is elected;
- Assist with activities, rather than just praising (or criticizing) the results;
- Become a visitor, rather than just remembering how helpful your visitor was to you;
- Submit questions and/or suggestions, rather than wondering if anyone else thought of it;
- Come to the meetings, rather than just reading the newsletter;
- Suggest a program topic, rather than discussing how uninteresting the meeting was;
- Volunteer to help with an exhibit, meeting or social function;
- Talk to a new member, rather than wondering who that shy, embarrassed person is there in the corner;
- Bring a new member if you know of an ostomate who doesn't know about us.
This group belongs to each of you, not a handful of members, or medical advisors, or equipment suppliers. If it thrives and grows, it will be because of each and every one of you!
