Every year we organize ourselves into a variety of committees that are responsible for planning and implementing all of our club projects. Each member participates on one committee during the year, and has the option of serving on several committees in subsequent years.
Our current committees are:
Healthy People, Healthy Planet Committee - focuses on issues that pertain to physical and mental health, as well as the protection of our environment. The committee presents programs at club meetings in these areas and encourages member participation in a wide variety of community service projects. Committee Chair is Pat Hansen and Co-Chair Sharon Pigman.
Best for Women Committee – coordinates the club’s various awards by selecting volunteers to choose winners and organizing award presentations. It also makes arrangements for the Grant of Friendship visitors from overseas and plans the Notable Women’s Luncheon. Committee Chair is Lenore Bayuk.
Fund-raising Committee – coordinates the club’s fund-raising events and activities, and works with the Treasurer to oversee the club budget. Committee Chair is MaryEllen Courtney and Co-Chair Katie Loring.
Public Awareness Committee – keeps the larger community aware of our local club and its activities/events, primarily publicity through news articles and photographs in the various island publications and websites. Committee Chair is Barbara Sharp.
Membership Committee - works to recruit and orient new members, facilitates ongoing communication with members, and provides specific activities that support the retention of members. Committee Chair is Anna Coffelt.
