September Meeting Update

Good Morning,

We had a great WLS meeting last night. I have posted the minutes
for those who were unable to attend (Thank you Erin for the speedy prep on
minutes). Everyone at the meeting stepped up to volunteer for one or more
opportunities to assist with our mission. We still have a few slots to fill but
I know that those of you who could not attend the meeting will help us fill
those slots.

First opportunity: Mardi-Gras Bunco on
the Bayou will be held on Sunday January 20, 2013. See attached committee sheet
that explains responsibilities of each committee and has the sign up slots. We
still need two committee chairs: Promotions/Public Relations and Sponsorships,
as well as more committee members. You all know that Bunco is a great fund
raiser and lots of fun so please add your name as a volunteer. You can e-mail
Deanna Johnson at deannagjohnson@aol.com and copy me with
the slot you are willing to fill.

Second opportunity: WLS Development
Committee. Please see the posted form for committee charter (basically how should
we raise money). Note that this committee needs two people to chair. Please
e-mail me if you are willing to serve on this committee.

Third opportunity: WLS Outreach
Committee. Please see the posted form for committee charter (basically how should
we spend money). This committee needs one more co-chair. Note, not surprisingly
more people were interested in how to spend money that how to raise it. Please
e-mail me if you are willing to serve on this committee.

I thank you in advance. WLS members are
wonderful about joining in to accomplish our goals. If circumstances don’t allow
you to participate at this time there will be other opportunities. I appreciate
each and every one of you. If you have any questions please let me know.

Cheryl
