CFAHU April 2013 Newsletter

President’s Message

 

A successful NAHU Chapter is a good team. Everyone plays a role. Members do their part NOT to receive praise and glory but to achieve a common goal. Being a member of CFAHU is so fulfilling precisely because we serve alongside people we know and like and share similar values with. Maybe non-CFAHU members assume that service is a chore, something we feel we should do but don’t really enjoy. Members know that’s a ridiculous notion. We relish belonging to CFAHU, interacting with members at meetings and then working together for the benefit of others.
We need to share our enthusiasm as members with non-CFAHU members and bring them into the fold. We need members who are dedicated to the growth of the chapter and the organization overall. Let them in on the “secret”–being a member is rewarding, gratifying and fulfilling.
Regards,
Augie Buffa, President
