We Can Do Better

Rethink how you might be able to assist with a club activity.

Take one small action.

Examples put forward by RCNB members:

Check diary, calendar to see where you will have an hour or half day free to assist.

Invite a friend, neighbor or family member to accompany you.

Thank you to those members present at last Thursday's meeting and their contribution to the discussion about We Can Do Better.
