Finance/Fundraising Committee

The LFRW financially must support its own educational programs, scholarships, publications, technological outreach, political work, invited speakers and participation in national conventions.  Annual dues are insufficient to meet normal operating expenses.  Membership dues are usually kept at a minimum so as not to prohibit anyone from participating. The Finance/Fundraising Committee helps raise the necessary funds to make the work of the LFRW possible.

The Committee is consulted when the President and the Treasurer prepare the annual budget.  The Committee proposes creative ideas and presents these ideas to the LFRW Executive Committee for approval.  At least one fundraising event is held annually.  The Committee is in charge of every phase of the event - site arrangements, donations, invitations, speakers, publicity, entertainment, financial records and final reports to the LFRW Board. The Committee invites LFRW members from clubs nearby the site of the function and other volunteers to assist with the arrangements.

The Chair of the Finance/Fundraising Committee for 2009-2011 is Peggy Childers of the Metro Club of Greater New Orleans.  Her Vice Chair is Elizabeth Schneider of the Slidell Republican Women’s Club.
