Membership Renewals are On the Way !!!

We had hoped to have the online renewal system up and running this week but a delay with the payment vendor has meant it is not quite ready

• Paper renewal invoices will be going out this week and next
• Once the online payment system is active, we will send an email blast so that those who prefer to pay online will be able to do so
• If you aren’t in a hurry to move to digital payment, a return envelope will be provided with your invoice
• Please direct any questions or concerns to Meg O’Rourke at IWLAMembership@megorourke.com

September’s Dinner Meeting Speaker

To launch our dinner series for the new season, we are delighted that Rick Wilson, founder of FARMERS & HUNTERS FEEDING THE HUNGRY (FHFH) has agreed to be our featured speaker

In 1997, Rick founded FHFH after he stopped to help a woman who was trying to retrieve a road-killed deer to feed her children. Rick saw, in that experience, a great opportunity to help provide food for the underserved in our communities

Many years ago, B-CC IWLA joined FHFH as a partnering sponsor, helping to provide the funds and venison that support the program. Today, B-CC members continue to donate proceeds of their hunts every year to FHFH

We all know that venison is a great food … but what you may not know is that FHFH has become a multi-state, multi-chapter organization. And you can participate through your membership in B-CC and your donated venison! Come hear Rick’s great story, and learn how we all can provide the help needed to create a bridge between donated venison and the hungry in our communities !!!

Dinner Meeting Logistics

• Masks must be worn indoors by everyone who is not actively eating or drinking, as per Montgomery County guidelines
• Dinner is $10.00 per head (Please bring change for a $20)
• Dinner is generally served between 6:15 & 6:30pm
• The membership meeting itself begins at 7:30pm, sometimes a little earlier
• All prospective members and those members who sit on the chapter Board of Governors are expected to attend
• Members & Guests may buy their dinner tickets in the boardroom
• This month, the meeting will also be broadcast through Zoom. Due to the PA system in the chapterhouse (echoes), Zoom attendees will be muted throughout the meeting unless & until they are asked for questions, feedback, or introductions (prospective members)
• As these hybrid membership meetings are a new experience for the B-CC IWLA, the Board of Governors has not yet formalized a policy for Zoom attendance for prospective members. For Wednesday’s meeting, those prospective members in physical attendance at the meeting will be sworn-in
