Thoughts on Club Membership

Jeff Novy took a few moments to comment on his feelings about membership in the Rotary Club of Sharpstown. In summary...

• Small group where everyone is a friend and is very much like a family
• Unlike many organizations, 100% of our membership is involved in some club project
• With a small group everyone shares in the good things the club does locally and around the world with a distribution of credit and good feelings for everyone.
