Our many programs and shows are coordinated by committees, most of which are comprised of just one member.  If you would like to help in a certain area, make a suggestion, or ask a question, the list below is designed to give you a good idea of who to talk to. Completing a member survey and sending it to the president or bringing it to a meeting is a good way of letting the club know what areas of the club you’d like to be involved in. When in doubt, ask the President, Mark DeVol, who appoints all committee chairs.
