Exposure! Record Visitors Day

''The Team” chapter in Cape Town had a visitor’s day and had 52 visitors. What a great breakfast. The vibe was great. The planning was number one. Well done to Janine and her crew. A new record has been set by Mike Addison, who is on the membership Committee. He gave 11 referrals and brought about 30 visitors. Go Mike Go!
Alan, President of Number 1 chapter now holds the record for the most referrals (12 at a breakfast). Experience does count as he was part of the first core group that developed our first chapter.

Our largest chapter for 2003 was First base. Well done Geraldine Odd and her chapter. We closed the year with 250 members.
