The committee is still accepting names of potential sponsors for 2003. Names and address for the sponsorship mailing list should be sent to chapter administrator Debbie McCreary by August 31. A one-time mailing for sponsors will be sent out in September. The sponsorship program underwrites the chapter’s programs and many of the community service activities. It also enables the chapter to offer many “no-charge” programs and events. Sponsors, in return, receive invaluable public relations exposure at these events and through the chapter’s Web pages.
