I was recognized at our Michigan Squadron SMOTY Dinner event for my new member recruiting efforts in 2015. This makes it my second year in a row. I shared this honor with Phil Bolichowski from Canada. Combined Phil & I brought in 10 new squadron members. Yeah, call it bragging, but I call it a challenge. Let's make 2016 our Year Of The Newbie! For our MSTA to continue its successes we need Newbies! We need past members to return! We need existing members to renew! My challenge is simple, every active member needs to recruit a Newbie! 2016 THE YEAR OF THE NEWBIE! Looking forward to seeing you at STAR 2016 in Vermont home of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream!
