Fiscal Responsibility

Wendy Goody, a newer NPS TM member but seasoned Toastmaster, led today's meeting with a theme of Fiscal Responsibility. Raising the bar with a printed agenda, Wendy enlisted the assistance of her "Debt Squad" with some (scary) facts about the state of our debt. With a lot of folks on vacation, we had a rather underpopulated meeting of 11 members and one guest, so there was lots of "double duty"! Great effort by Wendy, who is also a Division Governor in District 57 this year (East Bay).

We need to push back against the state of our debt!

This affects us all!
