Membership Committee REPORT Summary 11-19-09

1. Thank you Jill Grant for reaching out to Main Street in your newsletter. We look forward to more members as a result of this publicity! Thank you to Gwen Strane for sharing ideas that will promote more members to the center. Travel tours from the Center - LOVE THIS.

2. Thank you for your dues! We are so close to 100% board participation. This helps when Faith write for grants and funding.

3. Now that we have our center mission, vision and values updated - at our next membership meeting Thursday - December 3rd we will be nailing down our goals for the year and determine how to achieve these within our budget. In our next task we will rework the benefits of the membership categories and create a new Center brochure.

4. We met on Nov. 10th - we have a little presentation to let you know what is in the works!
