PHOTO SCANNING VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!! 
We are going to put all of our old photos on the web site.  To do this we need to scan them and put them on CDs.  There are a lot of photos and we could use your help.  If you can help scan some photos, please see Heidi Ho at the meeting Wednesday night. 

HELP WANTED - Membership Committee 
The Membership Committee is looking for volunteers to help out at the Membership Table during meetings.  Needed are 2-3 people to work as a team at every third meeting from 6ish to 8:30ish (depending upon activity at the table). 

Responsibilities include talking with member wannabes, keeping a log of new members and renewals received at the meeting, laminating badges, opening membership mail, handling money and checks and making change.  At the end of the night you would prepare the bank deposit slip, pack up and return materials to the storeroom.  You don’t have to worry about set-up as our own 12-Volt Man, Jerry, takes care of that for us.  (Thanks, Jerry!) 

We need outgoing, upbeat people who have a positive club attitude and who enjoy talking with new people.  The routine is easy to learn and it’s a fun area to work.  If the club has had a positive affect on your life and you can convey that feeling to new member wannabes, we’d love to talk with you. 

If you’re interested you can either come to the membership area during the meeting and ask for Andy or Diane or email Diane at margherite at aol.com.  Thanks!!
