· We have three special functions during the year.
· Raffles - We try to have a raffle drawing at each meeting. All prizes are donated from various Angels and AngelMates. (The price per ticket is $0.50) Monies collected goes to our treasury.
· Donations - We accept donations for our treasuty
· Food - All foods provided at our monthly meetings are potluck, and provided by the Angels. We do not have a food committee, so Angels and AngelMates are encouraged to bring snacks from time to time. Dr. Cowan usually provides soft drinks (if he has any in the break room!).
· Condiments, paper plates, forks, cups, napkins, etc., are bought using money from our treasury. Again, donations of any of these items would be appreciated.
· Angels Management Committee - We meet once a month to discuss
upcoming events and planning
sessions. We discuss finances, procedures, responsibilities, and suggest various activities to
help
promote our Angels Support Group. This meeting is open to anyone willing to actively
participate.
Treasury
As noted above, we are a non-profit organization, and depend on our members to support
our functions for
the year. We raise money for operating costs by selling tickets to our special functions,
from donations,
and our raffles. The proceeds are used to help defray the costs of the functions and to
enable us to operate
throughout the year.
Angel Stories
Angels are encouraged to write their story for our monthly newsletter. Please share
your story, as you
could be the encouragement someone needs. Please send in a before and after picture. The
pictures print
better if the background is light, and the person alone in the picture. We are also asking
angels to share
their story on our website. Permission slips are available at our monthly meetings.
Guests and Speakers
As always, we try to have informative meetings each month. We are interested in
knowing what topics and
speakers you would like to see. Suggestions are always welcome.
