Violet Township Women's League  

Members,

You recently received a VTWL BREAKING NEWS email announcing that the Legion suspended all Hall Rentals until further notice due to COVID 19. Because of that recent announcement, we are unable to gather as a group. So, the VTWL Executive and Advisory Boards put their heads together (not literally but electronically), to design a Pandemic Resistant plan that enables the completion of VTWL tasks deemed “necessary” while at the same time keeping members safe, connected and in-the-loop with up-to-date information! The following list is a work-in-progress but, it’s a start in the right direction. We look forward to the time when we can all gather together again.

1.  VTWL Board and General Meetings are cancelled until further notice. 

2. A slate of officers, will be prepared by the Nominating Committee soon, and will be submitted to the General Membership for a vote via email or regular mail with a set return date deadline. The New Officers will be installed and sworn in via a conference call. 

 

3. The funds for the end of the year donations from the 2019-2020 fiscal year will be added to the ending balance in May of 2021 and voted on at that time. 

 

4. All VTWL special interest group functions are suspended until further notice. 

 

5.  Membership dues are suspended until further notice. 

 

6.  There will not be any charitable collections until VTWL can safely meet.  Until then, Members are encouraged to personally donate to the charities of their choice. 

 

7.  The "Purple Petal" newsletter will be a key source of communication to members, along with postings on the VTWL Website and Facebook to keep members up-to-date and connected with birthdays, announcements, current information, etc. 

 

8.  The Executive Board and Scholarship Chairs will meet via conference call or email to determine the amount and number of scholarships to be awarded in 2021. According to Standing Rule # 18, a ballot will be prepared for a membership vote (by email or mail), to award either four scholarships in the amount of $2500 or three scholarships in the amount of $3400.

 

Be safe and stay healthy. Don’t leave home without your MASK!
