We don't list officers on the webpage to protect the innocent.. :-)
Actually, you ask some very good questions..
The Picnic funds are usually enough to cover the picnic. We buy meat, buns,
condiments, etc and we get people to bring desserts and side dishes.. We
have never charged dues and we really don't want to. However, we have heard
so many times before that "if SLAGA needs money, I will make a donation.."
So now we are at that point... We will see if they really will pitch in.. If
not, we might go to dues.. For a year I have heard people say they don't
want dues but are willing to pitch in if SLAGA needs it..
Right now, the "officers" as they are called consist of..
Mike Griffin (Brawny Bear) Pres.
Rich (RGS) VP
Glenn (*gln) VP
Jen (nyisutter) Treasurer
Pam (Tim, Pam and Molly) Treasurer
Jen (nyisutter) Activities (acting)
Bridget (Bridge w/a T) Secretary (acting)
We have Paul (Konopapw) as the Website consultant and Rich helps with that.
We often hear that this is the "core" of SLAGA... That is far from the truth
since SLAGA is made up of members. We only try and keep activities going and
make sure events take place. I think with the last go-round of being accused
of not letting outside help in was enough to make me sick.. The sooner
someone steps up and takes my position, the better.. I will still be around
and will help at every opportunity but my time has come to move on.. We are
not a 501c so the "officer" position is just a paper thing. Hopefully,
someone can get us to 501c..
Anyhow, if you would like to volunteer for a fundraiser, we would love to
have you do it.. Just tell us what you want us to do..
Other than that, happy caching!
Mike
The Brawny Bear
(soon to retire)
