help wanted
As we have been talking and writing about for the last several months, we have a number of board positions that are currently open (or will be open soon). Each position requires different skills, but one thing is constant: Board members are eager to spend the time and energy to move the club forward.
Call for Candidates!
In just a few months, the club will hold its annual election for board members. There is room for you! To continue the high level of activities, the club needs YOU to step up and join the board of directors. We are seeking people for a couple of board positions this year.
What’s in it for YOU?
• Satisfaction of moving the club forward with your ideas and suggestions. Each board member brings their unique talents and creativity
• Chance to interact with a wide range of people
• Opportunity to learn how the club operates behind the scenes
The board meets on the last Wednesday of the month, generally at the New Berlin Library. Want to learn more? If you are interested in joining us, we will invite you to a Board meeting. Contact Mary Beth at (262) 443-7291. Already made up your mind to run? That’s great! Email a short paragraph with your qualifications and photo to mbbraun4@wi.rr.com.
