I' m a committee member (VP) here in Washington state. Our chapter is young at only 3.5 years old. For the first three years all they worked on was growing the chapter and hosting the banquet and auction. Finally, this year we are hosting our first JAKES event and have more plans in the future i.e; conservation project for Easterns in our state, etc. But getting people to come to the monthly member' s meetings is tough. We typically have about 8 people show up. How you change that I don' t know.

What we are trying to accomplish now is get out into the community. We' re hosting our first JAKES event this summer. We' re also going to host a predator hunting seminar in January, and we' re going to do a college scholarship essay contest next year which is Super Fundable but gets our name out there in the community. Be creative! Think outside the box. Hell, we' re even thinking about doing car washes during the summer and selling Krisy Kreme (very popular) donuts outside Walmart to raise a few bucks for the chapter.

We are only one of two chapters in the entire state of Washington which has a website. It has become a very valuable asset to us as a chapter. Get one! Theres lots of free webhosting sites which will allow you to build a website for free.
