- A committee who secures speakers for our meetings (and that committee will formulate parameters for future speakers/topics);
- A publicity/membership committee; and
- A scholarship committee (Julie & Kris).
6) We came up with an idea for our first fundraising event: An Easter Parade/ Egg Hunt at Dog Park! In preparation for this event, we need to find out the following information:
