This committee has dual functions with the first one being to review scholarship

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
.

In the future, as the Lone Star Chapter grows and there are more committee
volunteers, it is expected that this committee will be split into two committees –
Scholarship Committee and Fundraising Committee
.
