Like many Phillies fans, licking our wounds, it can be easy to get bummed out when things don't go how you envisioned them. Sometimes you need a reminder of what IS going right and to appreciate the work you've put in to get to where you are. You won't hit a homerun every game, but you show up and take the chance. Sometimes you win big and sometimes you face the dreaded four-letter word we do not love hearing.... fail. But if you don't take the shot, you have no chance of winning.
What am I getting at here? I understand that the Club has faced some big changes over the last month with moving our meetings. We moved our homebase! BUT we met a challenge, we put in the work to find a solution, and now we are fine tuning the mechanics of how our new meetings flow, grow and thrive. It is going to take some time and practice to hit our stride. So, I thank you for cheering us on. I thank you for your thoughts and constructive input. I welcome help, ideas and solutions that you want to bring to the table as a member of the team.
We are trying new things so that we can see what works and what doesn't. Over the next few weeks, you will some new strategies in our meeting plans that we hope will get us into a new and improved groove. Let's have fun and remember that home is where you heart is...and for ERC the sense of feeling at home shines through when we are at service to our community. Let us remember that the real work is put in before and after the weekly meetings. It is the constant planning. It is the behind-the-scenes committee meetings. It is the community service projects that we literally knock out of the park!! Time to rally!
