These groups have many things in common. Some of them are chartered by the U. S. Government for one. Many of them have charities that they support, either national ones or local. Nearly all of them are losing members at an alarming rate too.
It is my hope that we can reverse the trend in downward membership first brought to national attention in his data packed book, Bowling Alone, by Robert D. Putnam, a Harvard Professor. The book was published in 2000 and was highly received by peers and reviewers alike. It reflects the dwindling membership rates of nearly all volunteer groups, with tons of statistics and other data to fully convince anyone that has doubts of this issue of it’s real impact on our country.
I believe that if enough empowered volunteers just follow my methodology we can in a decade completely reverse the effects of this trend and in the meantime help so many people live healthier and otherwise better lives too.
Please join me in this effort.
