For Max Roffman

The late Max Roffman, the deeply respected builder of the Puget Sound Council of Senior Citizens, had a five-word slogan he drove home at every opportunity:
“Every member get a member!”

We lost Max years ago, but his organizing spirit is alive and with us today as together we work toward our goal of 250 new members in the year 2010.

Max had another slogan, this one only four words, that also applies today.
“Get into the action!”

We know that hundreds of our members, in one way or another, did “get into the action” during the challenging 2010 election campaign. In every struggle that comes its way, the Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans has an impact all out of proportion to its size because we do indeed “get into the action.”

In November, let’s honor a dedicated founder and champion builder of our movement by translating Max’s slogan into reality:

“Every member get a member!”

When you ask that friend or neighbor to join – retiree, boomer or any other generation – you are building the organization that “gets into the action.”

And somewhere Max Roffman will nod his head and smile quietly.
