[NFBWATlk] Notes from January Bell Academy Volunteer Meeting

[Kris Colcock]

 Hello All,

The January meeting of the BELL Academy volunteers was small but
mighty. Here are some highlights from the gathering:
* Theme of the BELL Academy - "I Can Lead"
* Jared and Joy are working together to communicate with the Portland
TVI program to recruit adult volunteers. They will be working together
to identify other ways to recruit volunteers for the program.
* We still need a team to take on the in-kind donations for Academy needs
* Need a team to help coordinate recruitment for students
* Reminder that there is a 2 hour BELL Training happening at the NFBW
State Convention on Friday March 1 in the afternoon.

February's call will be on the 19th at 7pm.

Two action items for all:
1. Attached is the Save the Date flyers for both Oregon and Washington
affiliates. Please feel free to download the flyer and spread the
word. Put it out on mailing lists, church bulletin boards, share with
schools and youth organizations. Share with the local Lyon's clubs,
Elks, Eagles and any other rotary club you can think of.

2. Reassess your calendar, is there a better date or time to meet?

Don't be shy. If you know someone should be on this list and they
aren't, please forward the email and let me know.

Hope all are staying warm! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
