Director’s Fundraising

Every administration promotes fundraising activities on behalf of the Director of Junior Clubs. Monies raised are deposited in the General Fund of the Junior Board Treasury to be used as deemed appropriate or necessary by the Junior Executive Board.  Presidents are asked to make club members aware of featured fundraisers and encourage sales. Items are generally sold at all Meetings/Conventions and through the Director or her Assistants while supplies last.

Raffles at Meetings/Convention

Raffle tickets will be sold at Meetings/Conventions for the chance to win items provided by Junior Clubs and/or Women's Clubs. Junior Membership will use the money to defray costs of travel required of the Director of Junior Clubs. Every club is asked to donate something (details will be in the Call) at each Meeting/Convention in order to help support the Director’s Travel Fund.  Items should be labeled with club name. Awards may be given to clubs for use of creativity and originality in the donation.

​Delegates (voting) at Meetings/Convention
