Chapter Chatter

Going from an idea to a reality is far more difficult than just writing it down on paper.

As the chapter continues to grow and expand its horizons, the never-ending need for volunteers is also expanding. A small cadre of volunteers are caring a very large load of responsibilities. We need to enlarge the number of volunteers to take on some of the necessary tasks.

Don’t be content to sit back and let the “OTHER” person do the work, while enjoying the fruits of that labor.

This chapter has always looked at things as a team effort. We have a very diverse talent base within our ranks, and those skills need to find a place of service. No job you accept is too small. Many hands make big jobs doable and easily done.

One or two of you would be great at heading up the general Scholarship fundraising activities, while another would be great at selling water at the Airport Appreciation day at KCLM in June and Air Affaire at W28 in August. Cooking Burgers at the BASH or serving requires a team of at least four to keep things moving.

As the board works to develop programs and ideas, the implementation cannot be done by board members alone. It is the responsibility of the general membership to step up and stand alongside others to carry out the mission and goals of the chapter.

Membership in 430 has an implied responsibility to serve in some area that will benefit the group and its mission statement.

I encourage you to take that step today. Make the call and take charge of one of the many opportunities available. The rewards are greater than you would believe.

For a list of volunteer opportunities turn to page two of the newsletter and make the call today. The chapter is best when we all have an active part in achieving the goals.
