Remember, too, that as the club membership changes with new people, or older members leaving, the whole club can change. One or two people can really make a difference.

Be a mover and shaker, that's SO true. Just being friendly and enthusiastic really helps with your interactions. People react differently depending upon how you present yourself. Remember, we are half of the equation when we are one on one with someone else, and we have a lot of power to move the relationship forward if we so choose.

A club that doesn't welcome new members and reach out to them, is a club that is in trouble. In our big club the beginner class this year (Jan-Feb-Mar) was twenty-four people!! Yikes!

Get in, get active, get enthused.... friendly enthusiasm is irresistible. And if, after your best tries, you just don't warm up to them or them to you, find another club. There's bound to be a good fit for you!
