SCHOLARSHIP/FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE Carrie Smith - Chair (contact) Janis Cable Debbie Newell This committee has dual functions with the first one being to review scholarship applications and approve/deny requests according to the guidelines. The second function is to coordinate and administer fundraising efforts throughout the year to raise funds for the chapter scholarship. The Lone Star Chapter has established at least one annual silent auction to be held at the TMCCP Election Law Seminar and others may be administered and approved by TMCA, Inc. The chapter has also established a raffle to be conducted at chapter meetings. Committee members will work together to solicit raffle/auction items as well as administer these events. This committee is charged with developing an ongoing fundraiser such as the chapter cookbook. Other fundraising ideas are welcomed and are brought before the Lone Star Chapter for discussion.
