UMPA needs your Support - Biennial UMPA meeting at 5.30pm
Become a member at the door, elect a new Council. Add your vision for the future
|
In the last two years UMPA funds have been used
up in supporting highway cleanups, 25 packages sent to Pagan soldiers,
service activities to the needy, and to become a federal 501c4 service
corporation.Over 300 folks have either financially supported UMPA, or
participated in its events since 2007.
Participation has dwindled but does this mean UMPA is no longer needed? We
don't know. This is an opportunity gather for a great meal, entertainment,
and to join in and discuss the future of UMPA; either find some new
leadership and participation, or dissolve the organization and pass on any funds raised to
another non-profit.
What You Can Do:
More important than donating (a few hundred dollars can basically fund the
organization for 2 years) is attending and answering the question, "Do you want an
established organization dedicated to community service to continue, and
if so, what is its best role, and can you help it get there?"
Read and print the 2013 bylaw changes to reflect federal 501c4 status.
To help "Sponsor" this event:
~ Make a batch of chili, or corn bread (to feed at least 50 in a tasting
serving) for the meal service and participate in the competition. (and serve
it at the event, to 'win' , bring your culinary skill and supporters! )
~ Commit at least one person from your organization to help out with set up,
take down, meal service, and dishes.
~ Donate to UMPA But More IMPORTANTLY:
~ Become an UMPA Member! , participate and consider taking a Leadership Role!
