Speakers 2/26:Bud Ackerman led an exploration of the Round Table Results. Social needs came up: A couple new Ad Hoc committees formed to organize social events/progressive dinners. Also other ways we get to know fellow members. Double Down a good event. Some tweaks coming: move to August date etc. Lots of good ideas. The results will be on the CR website. Finally, showed a list of members who have signed up for committees/events. A goodly number of our members indicated interest and are involved.
Then Committee Chairs provided a summary of what their committees have done and are planning. Lots of good things. Overall a very active club. One highlight was Stan Steiner, Membership Chair. He had set a goal of 1 new member a month. We are now at 12 new ones with four months to go. But we can’t let him step down now! Todd and Jim regaled us with our extensive list of community service projects. The Smiths covered Communications. A good start on getting out word about the club.

Roy Loo
I’ve been Married for almost 36 years and have two beautiful daughters and a great grandson who live, with their families in IL. CO. and now IA. My favorite pastimes are playing my guitars and listening to music, playing golf, traveling ,visiting family and friends and following the Stock Market. I was born in the Netherlands. My family came to the United States to give my brother, sister and myself more opportunities and we ended up growing up in Indiana. I went to High School, and graduated, in Syracuse Indiana. The company I went to work for sent 18 of us to Notre Dame University to take a Business Management course. In 1977 that company, Sellers Mfg. sent me to Riverside, California to manage their west coast operation. When I came to CA. I took a Business Law and Accounting class at our local Community College. I was looking to make a career change and got into the financial services industry 1987. Started with my Insurance License's and then in 1991 my Securities licensee and CFL license to do mortgage lending. I saw a big need to educate people on simple money management. Since 2002 I've devoted 100% of my business time to Mortgage Banking which I still do with Guaranteed Rate out of Chicago.
If you were at last weeks meeting you heard about all of the great projects that we have going on, here at Sunup. I hope listening to our committee chairs inspired you to become even more involved. I look forward to seeing all of you next week.
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. Muhammad Ali
