and don't get me wrong...I think our orgs have to evolve to remain relevant. Otherwise we'd be having orations, literary or music recitals at our meetings, as they did in the 1870s. eek! The challenge is to retain the founding principles and incorporate them into programming that is meaningful today.

I wasn't sure we were on the same page, so I'm glad you replied.
So in other words - you think there's a disconnect between the way we market ourselves and what we really are? (i.e., we market ourselves as fun and sisterhood, when really there's LOTS of work involved)
