Seeking one person - or two? - New chapter secretary needed
|
We have been fortunate to have Marie Elsner serve as our chapter secretary for nearly two years, but it is time for her to move on and out of the greater Milwaukee area. (BUMMER for us!!!) Marie defined the position and performed it wonderfully while working her full-time job. She has the foundation in place - all you need to do is volunteer as soon as feasible so you may work with her as much as possible before she steps down at the end of October. Or talk to a friend and both of you can volunteer as co-secretaries.
Interested but not sure of committing yet? Have questions for Marie or other board members? Please reply to this email (do not Reply to All) and let Marie know you're interested before August 23. The board meets Monday night, August 26, 6pm-8pm at the Wauwatosa Public Library, second floor. Ask the Reference Librarian where to find us. All interested parties are welcome to attend. We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible but no later than the end of October. The earlier you sign up, the more time you'll have to work with Marie! Thanks!! |
