When
a new president is elected, she appoints committee chairs for her
year. Each chair then recruits (members sign up at the installation
dinner) members for her committee. Meetings are held in the summer
to plan the next year. Then the Board of Directors and committee chairs
meet before the August meeting to coordinate all the departments.
Members may join one, several or all of the committees. Committee
work is the backbone of the club. Participating on committees is the
way to serve the community and get to know the other members.
