Guys, love getting the Club news emailings. That said/written, is there
a way to do this chatting on a social media venue....e.g. club Facebook
account, etc? Can only speak for myself.....I rely on my email inbox
almost hourly for updates from the company because of the dynamic nature
of things today.
Great idea connecting with each other, though!
Best,
Brad, K9MHZ
