Basically, a club is in a position of saying we are a group that enjoys a certain thing/activity, in our case Lotus, we offer the a number of services/insights related to the topic and have banded together to promote/expand related services. If you are interested – join. The corollary is also true. If you are not
interested in what we do and how we do it you do not have to join and we will go on without you.</span><span style="color: black;"></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv8409454249MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">It is odd how our culture has changed so dramatically over the years.</span><span style="color: black;"></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv8409454249MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span><span style="color: black;"></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv8409454249MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Tom</span><span style="color: black;"></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv8409454249MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span><span style="color: black;"></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv8409454249MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color:
