Our chapter needs funds, and we need a motivated group to explore ideas for fundraising to bring back to the group. This group will also monitor the success of any ideas that we take on, and report on the progress.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Membership Committee- In addition to funds, we can always use new members. This group will be the contact point for potential new members, and come up with ideas for recruiting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Events Committee- This group will come up with and implement chapter events for promoting the chapter and the organization to others and for fellowship among our group.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Each committee chair will need to be prepared to work with their group and make a report at each meeting.
