Officer Elections

Officer elections for President, Public Relations Coordinator, Fundraising Coordinator, and Membership Coordinator were held during our business meeting on Thursday. Congratulations to Bill Clifford (President) & Janet Steinkamp (Public Relations Coordinator). As no one ran for either Fundraising Coordinator or Membership Coordinator we still have those positions to fill. Any member interested should contact an executive board member. Julie Gore was appointed to fill the Vice President vacancy for the remainder of the term.

Bylaws Revision

The revised bylaws were ratified during the business meeting and have since been approved by headquarters. The bylaws page has been updated with a clean copy in both Word & PDF formats.

Alumni T-Shirt Contest

We are reaching the bottom of our supply of t-shirts to sell at marketplace and are looking for help designing the next one. We are sponsoring a contest to determine the design with a $100 scholarship, $50 to the winning artist (member or alumnus) and $50 to their chapter. Look for more details coming soon.

Committees

We are looking for people interested in helping with a few things such as planning fundraisers & recruiting new members. Any member interested should contact an executive board member.
