HELP WANTED:
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
The Society seriously needs some help
form its members. The Society is very limited on how it
functions when these positions are
vacant. Missed getting your newsletter?
Possibly because we need a Membership
Chair person to provide mailing labels
to the Editor. Wish you had some thing
to eat and drink at the meetings? Why
don't YOU take charge and volunteer?
Some things you have to do yourself,
others you can delegate.
Membership
Chair:
Desperately
need to fill this
Chair! Person needs to be proficient
with MS Access. Must keep database up to
date and provide monthly mailing labels
to the editor and other officers with
any special mailings and produce an
annual membership directory.
Promotions Chair:
(fossil and gem and mineral shows and
fossil shows). This is a great
opportunity to meet with people and talk
about fossils. Additionally, the Society
generates a lot of income from regional
shows. Remember,
being a Committee Chair person does not
mean do it all yourself. Recruit people
to cover the shows for you and only
attend the ones you want!
Hospitality Chair:
Who doesn't like making people happy and
eating at the same time? You don’t have
to cook anything. Bring something on
your own or coordinate with someone to
get the soft drinks and someone else to
get the food. Expenses are
reimbursable.
If interested in any of these positions,
please contact one of the officers or
current Committee Chair person at link
