Hello all,
We had six Locals participate in our Fall Membership Drive workshop yesterday - it was a FULL day of great activities and discussions, and best of all, the teams walked away with a PLAN for implementing a fantastic back-to-school membership drive.
Betty, Eva, and Jim from Kohler EA are pictured here.
If you're sorry you missed it, (and you should be), please scroll back up and see the July and August opportunities to get started on your own membership drive plan sponsored by Regions 5, 6, 7, and by WEAC. Get a team together and plan some fun!
Happy Summer! Yes, today is the first day of summer! Yahoo!
