Go-To Committee
•    If you are reluctant to commit to a specific committee or do not quite know where your strengths lie, this may be the committee for you

Many hands make light work!  Our emphasis is not on raising funds – though we obviously need money to exist.  Our aim is for 80% and a fun time to be had by all.

Thank you.
