To Be or Not to Be, That is the Question

Greetings ProNet members.  It was a hot summer.  Gas prices continued to skyrocket and dialogue with members was few and far between.  

I have sent out a number of "email blasts" only to find many have unsubscribed and many have asked to be taken off the mailing list.  This is good news and bad news.  Good News:  People are getting jobs!!  Bad news:  ProNet is working and our membership is dwindling.  

How do I interpret this?  I know that some of the larger organizations in Central Florida are no longer referring people to us (we do the "same thing" that they do....but they get paid for it).  They feel that they address the needs of professionals so they don't suggest people come to ProNet.  Many of our visitors to our meetings were from others' referrals.  

What do you think?  What is the reason why you haven't come to our meetings?  Can you write me (privately) at hra246@gmail.com?  I continue to say to myself, "the people need ProNet so I am going to keep it alive even if only for a few people".  

Our next meeting is September 22nd at the College Park Towers on Eggleston Ave., Winter Park (off Lee Road).  We start at 5:30 and go to 7:30.  The topic this month will be an effective resume and effective cover letter.  If you are unable to make it, kindly write me at hra246@gmail.com) and let me know as I am wondering if we are to be or not to be....that is the question.  Let me know if you know of a good speaker....I'll be glad to talk with them.  Until then...
