QUESTIONS
When do we meet?
The ministry meets the third Saturday of each month, September thru June.
What time do we meet?
Meetings begin at 10:00 A.M. and end at noon. Those who wish to partake of the continental breakfast should arrive at 9:30 A.M.
How much time is required for this ministry?
The time commitment required for this ministry includes two hours for the monthly meetings and additional time for specific ministries within the organization. The total time commitment for the ministries varies. For example, if one is serving as a new member mentor, there are training meetings approximately every other month and there is time spent with the assigned mentee. If one serves as an officer, additional time would be required to meet the responsibilities of that office. We have found that our members are willing to commitment and always volunteer to help one another.
