Thank you. I am a first-timer to this platform and I am glad I tuned in. I am almost at burnout in my club voluntary role, but you have inspired me to make it better for others to follow me - we have a big loyal following and we have an opportunity to keep it rolling, or let it drop. We will join with council and try to make a future plan..... Thank you
