Carol Harper's Chapter Current Newsletter
February 2010
Good morning!
It's the last week of February and that means March is around the corner….and that means elections are on their way, to be held on the first week of March. If there are any issues about the date, please let me know. Be sure to read your
new chapter manual which you received if there are any questions about elections, as there are changes to the rules. Even if all your executive wish to stay as their present position or a new one, elections must be held. Once your elections are complete, send the officer’s chart to me, ASAP.
If you are able, you are welcomed to fax or scan the chart if you wish and then mail the original, thank you.
Resume:
Okay, this is it! Most should have your resumes; please check out the certificates ASAP to ensure all is good. Be sure to share the resume results with your weight recorders as they did such a wonderful job spend a few moments and thank your weight recorders for the awesome job they do.
Executive:
Your Area Captain is planning an Executive FUNshop to be held in the couple of months; everyone is welcomed as the day will be geared towards the executive. Please be sure to bring your new chapter manual with you. I’m looking forward to seeing you there.
Advertising:
If you are interested in advertising please let me know and we can work together. What a great gift for your division winner or chapter members. One great idea is an OPEN HOUSE or Welcome Back meeting and include the entire chapter to help plan your event. Even if you’ve never had a visitor before, this is still advertising that you are there and available. To help with advertising, don’t forget that I have the TOPS logo ad pin for sale at $4.50 each.
Odds & Sods:
Leader Login information has been updated and the attached form is the instructions on how to log onto our website. Please request membership forms and My Day Ones for your new members through me on a chapter supply form. Your TOPS News is the main source of what’s happening in TOPS, new and old alike. ‘Goodies in the mail’ is a small section that indicates what has been mailed out to the chapter from headquarters. There are programs, recipes and much, much more for everyone.
TOPS Website:
You have got to check out our website, if you haven’t done so lately. I have attached the “NEW” website leader instruction and the good news is that changes were made to the website to simplify the login process. Yes, for security reasons there has to be a second login when going to the membership database but I think it is easier now. Check your February TOPS News for changes on the website, it is amazing and what a great tool for your chapter programs.
Take care!
