Our New Philosophy
Let's Repeat - It’s the same as our old philosophy!

You may remember what we are all about…doing business with one an other and referring the hundreds of people we all know to a Progress Club Member first.

What we are not
Not a social club…Not a service organization…Not a place for JOINERS…

Latest Event: May 25th meeting at the South Miami Elks Club

We held our monthly business meeting at the South Miami Elks Club this morning. Jack, John, Chip, Adam and I attended. Thanks to Adam and Beverlyn for the great breakfast! We also had a new prospective member that John brought…Margaret Yoder, a top residential realtor from EWM.

The following procedural items were discussed:

  • Attendance (including virtual conference center) at 6 of the 12 events quarterly is required for continued membership without excusal
  • Dues will be $225, billed and payable quarterly in advance and June will be added to the first bill (may be paid by credit card; PayPal; check or ACH)
  • Limited social functions will be held until sufficient membership permits – Founders’ day may still be held
  • Other group’s social events (golf etc) will be publicized to the members
  • We will concentrate initially on the exchange and referral of BUSINESS
