Members would be responsible for submitting a brief description of the community service they had done as well as the number of hours. Members of the committee would then add the hours to it official spreadsheet that everyone would be able to view. Awards would be given at the national convention next summer, but also could be emailed to those who cannot attend the convention. More information will be coming, but if you would like to be involved please reply to this email.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Cards for Troops</span><br><span></span><br><span>In order to support our troops, I am starting up a project where we will be writing letters of thanks around Veterans Day.
