PHILANTHROPY RAFFLE BASKETS - required
Each collegiate chapter is expected to donate a raffle basket with a total value around $50. Graduate chapters are encouraged to donate a basket, although it is not required. Proceeds from the auction will benefit a charity selected by the hosting chapter. If no one from your chapter is attending the assembly, please consider still donating $50 towards the philanthropy. Use this Google sheet to indicate the theme of your basket so we avoid duplicates.
CHAPTER SALES - highly encouraged
Time will be allotted for chapters to sell merchandise. Use the raffle basket link (google sheet) to let us know if you plan on selling anything. To help increase sales, feel free to email our historian (mep.historian@gmail.com) pictures of what you're selling so it can be advertised on our social media leading up to the assembly.
BACK
The Legislative Committee is looking for proposals to improve the function of the Province and govern activities more easily. We value your input and will present your proposal, in addition to the Committee's recommendation, during the business session at the Spring Assembly. Should you have multiple suggestions, please submit a new form for each proposed amendment. All questions and concerns can be directed to our Parliamentarian at mep.parliamentarian@gmail.com. Please review the current Mountain East Province Local Ordinances and submit proposals for amendments to our Local Ordinances as you see necessary.
The Resolutions Committee is accepting resolutions for the upcoming assembly. This form will remain open until the start of the afternoon business session. Should you have multiple resolutions to submit, please complete a new form for each. All questions and concerns can be directed to our Parliamentarian at mep.parliamentarian@gmail.com.
