Program: Coach Susan Orvis provided an informative program about the MCSD Girls Basketball Program.. There are 4 Pillars of the Program: including 1. Leadership/Character, 2. Communication, 3. Team Behavior and 4. Competing to Win. Susan personally played under Vivian Stringer and has high regard for her excellent leadership, Susan believes in direct communication which avoids conflict and enables personal accountability for team members. Susan sees team togetherness as kind of a lost art and really works to rid the team of selfishness and drama. The team is reading"Make Your Bed" and is reporting out on individual chapters to the rest of the team. Competing to Win is all about preparation and planning which instills confidence. Susan tells the team to expect adversity since there will be failure..someday you will lose. Remember Friday Night is Cake Auction Night!
No meeting on February 3. We have the Rotary 100th Gala on February 1 and the Contrary Brewing Networking evening with special bartender, Mike Hagerty!!
