• The SMWHBA currently has 220 members.  Of that 220, roughly 50 regularly participate in things like the general membership meetings.  Of that 50, there is an even smaller number of people who regularly volunteer, whether they serve on a committee or the board of directors, attending events, staffing events and even selling raffle tickets.  Every once in a while, you will get someone who takes it just a step further, and goes above and beyond what has been asked of them.  Last month during the membership drive I had 2 such people.  During the membership drive, we asked for a 2 hour block of time where you would call your business contacts & acquaintances who were not members and talk to them about becoming a member.  I had 6 people volunteer to work the membership drive.  4 of them came to the office to make their calls, and of those 4, 2 worked all day, for both days of the membership drive.  Because of their efforts these 2 volunteers have been awarded the first ever President’s Award.  Congratulations Patti Badner & Dave Marcade.

• The Harley-Davidson we are raffling is on site today!  We are on the sidewalk in front of our building selling raffle tickets.  Stop by to see this beautiful bike.
