The March meeting was attended by over 100 of our members and they were treated to an amazing presentation by Mallory Wells, the Program Operations Office of Communities in Schools. I had not heard of this organization, but came away with a huge appreciation for what they do and the children whose lives they impact. Their mission is to serve the children of Brunswick County by surrounding them with communities of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. There are so many different ways our members can help this wonderful organization. I would encourage you to check their website,
www.cisbrunswick.org. It only takes an open heart to change a child's life for the positive.
You should have all received an email asking you to vote to accept or reject the proposed changes to the current bylaws. I have attached a copy of the changes to the bottom of this message. If you are not going to be at the meeting on Friday, April 11th, you may vote electronically. You should have received an email from me with the Subject Bylaws ballot - Round 2. Below is the link to the changes, which are in red.
I know some of you were disappointed not to hear from Barnes Sutton, Leland Economic and Community Development Director at our last meeting. We are hoping to have him speak early next fall.
Don't forget to bring your coupons as we restart our Coups for Troops program.
If you are bringing snacks to the meeting, please be sure to drop them off in the kitchen and not directly on the tables. That will help Diane, our Hospitality Director, manage the goodies.
As always, we continue to support Lower Cape Fear Hospice with helping to supply them with necessary items. Please see the list below if you would like to contribute and bring the items to the meeting, where we will collect and distribute them.
I hope to see you on Friday, April 11th.
