Brian, brother of club member Melissa Richards, spoke to us on Zoom from the US Naval Air Station in Sicily! The USO is a private foundation chartered by the US Congress that supports military service members. For more information on what Brian’s outfit does, see USO – Fast Facts, attached below.

Paul Arveson will continue his planning sessions this week.

Here’s an outline of what he will cover.

Last week we did an analysis of our stakeholders–who are they, where are the boundaries of our club, and what do our stakeholders need from us. The club was divided into four groups to come up with a list of current stakeholders and possibilities.

This week we’ll be working on “Improvement Objectives”:

• How can we leverage what we are good at?
• How can we fll our gaps?
• What opportunities can we exploit?
• What threats must we deal with?

Paul will also cover guidance on writing objectives, including putting them on stickers, moving them to a flip chart, and creating a map that we can use. It should be fun!
