Our big recruitment party is scheduled for Sunday, October 1 at the home of Susan Fulkerson. Thank you Susan for hosting! This is what we need you to do:

1. Email our membership team circle4children.membership@gmail.com your list of recommendations of women you know well who have a heart for helping children.
2. Include the prospective member's name, address, phone, and email. They will receive a printed party invite, follow up phone call from our membership committee, and a post event email asking them to join.
3. Let them know you nominated them and to look for the invitation in September. Tell them a little about The Circle and get them excited about being recuited!

The Membership Chairs, Emily Lemmy and Abbie Lemmy will do the rest, with support from Rita Robb Furness and Pat Iaffaldano.

By growing The Circle we can do more to help children, meet more amazing women, and spread the work of the organization across more hands

Thanks in advance for your help!

Emily, Abbie, Rita and Pat
