Agriculture:  Big problems with water in Klamath Falls area.  ESA and treaties with tribes in the area interpreted to require 4138’ Upper Klamath lake level be maintained as well as flows for Salmon in Klamath River.  This has not left any water for farming or the bird refuges.  Farms have high value crops planted that will die without water.  Tribes say their C’waam sucker fish won’t survive another year of low water in upper Klamath Lake.  Marshland used by waterfowl is drying up and won’t support birds this year.  Are taxpayers responsible for bailing out the farmers?  Is taking out  irongate dam a fix or a disaster?  More info: https://shutdownfedup.org/klamath-basin-water-crisis-2022/

Welcoming New Members
When our group takes in a new member, what do you do that celebrates their joining? There are three good reasons to have some ceremony to welcome them into membership.
First, what do you do to make them feel special? What do you do that makes them feel that they are wanted and valued as fellow members? There is real advantages to making new members feel they are special and wanted.
Second, what do you do to make them feel a part of your organization? It is important to share the pride of your group with each new member. Many organizations have formal ceremonies to initiate new members which creates common bonds and experiences between members. Whatever your group does to welcome a new member, it should be more than a receipt for paying dues.
Third, how do you share the written and unwritten rules of your group with each new member? Some form of orientation that explains how your group functions empowers the new member. Do you sit down in a formal manner, or in a relaxed setting to share information? Do you give new members reading material or just let them learn the ropes by the seat of their pants?
How you welcome and treat new members is more important than actually recruiting them into your group. Take the time to understand why and how you welcome new members and then explore how to improve that process. After all, you should want the new member to become a long-time member someday.
