Volunteers Needed!Once again, I am asking for some of our members to step up and help the organization out. Board MemberSome of those on the Board are looking for others to replace them, and it is always good to get fresh input as to what is good for BRCS. Program CoordinatorThe Board has been going month to month, trying to find and/or run programs for our monthly meetings. We need to find someone to become the Program Coordinator, so that good programs can be booked at least three months in advance to provide for publicity and planning of newsletters.. Public Relations & PublicityWe need someone to take Mort Mazor's place doing public relations and publicity. Mort has said that he will ". . . instruct someone to write and email future press releases I will be happy to do so."
