Dear fellow e-club members,
As you may have read in the Minutes of our July 25th Board of Directors meeting, we need to generate funds to build a buffer on our bank account, so that we can easier pay our dues, pre-pay the whole amount to the Children of the Dump (we get District Grant reimbursement afterwards) etc. Several ideas were shared during the meeting, like working with a restaurant to encourage members and friends to go there during a certain period of time and the e-club gets a percentage for the revenue, but we like to hear proposals from those who were not able to attend that meeting as well. Be creative, and let us know your ideas! Don't feel limited to face-to-face events in the Houston area, we are an e-club with members in many geographies, so if we can come up with a way for people in other locations to participate, that is great.
Please send me your thoughts by August 18th at the latest, so that I can compile all proposals, and we can discuss them during our next virtual BOD meeting on August 22nd (a good reason to join for that meeting). You'll receive call-in information for that meeting together with the agenda during that week.
Thank you for your participation!
Martine Stolk
secretary e-club of Houston 2015-2016
