If there is something you would like to do for the chapter, please let us know.  We are looking for a number of people to be board members. 
Let us know in the forum.  

The chapter still needs help with the following positions:

Secretary - takes notes at the monthly meetings.

Treasurer - Keep track of club funds, and report at meetings.

We need Several active members to be on the board. 

Without your support and input, the chapter can't keep growing and thriving.

 

Please show up and support the chapter by buying some raffle tickets at meetings. 


With as large as the chapter is,,,,  WE NEED YOUR INPUT, and HELP. Please step up and take an active role in YOUR chapter.

The GPAA property.  3.75 miles south of the Coker Creek Welcome center on the left if heading south. It is marked with a 3 foot square sign.

 Here are the directions to the Ruritan club:

On Hwy 68, heading south from Tellico Plains, go to Coker Creek. (about 10
miles or so) Where the post office and little shops are at, on the corner
going to the left, (towards doc rogers field) you take a right.


Go about 1/4 mile, and take that first road on the left. That is ruritan rd.
Turn left towards the school, and the ruritan club is the white building
just before the school, on your right.

We use the back section for our meetings, unless it is a pitch in dinner
like the next two.

The meetings raffle prizes will depend on our chapters turnout.
Please come, learn what is going on this year with the chapter,,,  And, socialize and talk. 
There are some changes to the dredge / sluice permit.
