Hello Sorors, Listed below is a direct link to the 1908 Playground Mobilization Day survey. Please complete this survey on or before Monday, June 26th. It is important that we meet YOUR needs with our programs and activities as well as meeting the needs of our community. Your opinion matters! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QZNQYQN Sisterly, XTO Standards Committee Sorors,
REMINDER: Officer and committee proposed budgets for 2018 are due no later than July 1, 2017. CORRECTION: The meeting to discuss the proposed budget will be on September 7th and not on September 4th as previously announced. The place will be announced as soon as confirmation is received. TIME: 7:00pm – 8:00pm and the conference bridge will not be available. Each committee is asked to submit the budget that reflects the consensus of the committee members and not a budget that reflects the ideas/wants/needs, etc., of the chairman of the committee. Committee chairmen are asked to let chapter members know the meeting during which the proposed 2018 committee budget will be discussed. This will allow Sorors who are interested to attend that meeting. The Chapter Development Guide and the approved 2017 XTO Budget are attached for your convenience. 17_Approved_XTO_Budget_PW.01.xlsx Budget_Development_Guide.ppt Please contact me if you have questions or if you need clarification as to what is expected during the budget process. Thank you in advance for your part in helping to ensure that XTO will continue to operate efficiently.
