AQUARIUS
“Last meeting, we had a new member who was very excited about the existence of [AQUARIUS]. "‘I am so excited about this, I didn’t even know it was a club, if I did, I would’ve came sooner,’” she said. “So I think that kind of impact — people realizing that it exists — is starting now and I want to keep that going.”
