GOALS- Everything you take on as a Club
President should have an established GOAL.
YOU-should be able to answer What do you want
the end results to be? The more specific your
goals are, the greater your chance for success.

GOALS are required so that we know where we are
going and when we have arrived.
GOALS provide focus and direction.
Without out GOALS we wander aimlessly and
without purpose.
GOALS provide us with a measuring stick to let
us know how we are doing.

"The past is never there when you try to go
back.It exists,but only in memory. To pretend
otherwise is to invite a mess." "The past is a
guidepost, not a hitching post. "No yesterdays
are ever wasted for those who give themselves to
Today." Living the past is a dull and lonely
business looking back strains the neck muscles,
causing you to bump into people not going your
way."
