What can you organize for us? These were suggested by someone in our club:

History: Need an Organizer! Shall we meet Thursday morning or evening? Off-site at CR History Center? They have a bar.
Pickleball Palace: Need an Organizer! Better to visit. Morning? After work social? Demos of pickleball, etc.
Retirement Strategies: Recommend some experts... Its about the money.... but also much more!
