Happy Holidays from B.U.D.S
B.U.D.S has had a great year and we look forward to next year and growing even more to reach out to our community and to each other. From all of us here at B.U.D.S have a safe and happy holidays!
B.U.D.S Needs You!!!
B.U.D.S needs board members, volunteers, and a treasurer. B.U.D.S is an ever growing group but without support from our members we cannot host or plan events for our families. Email rburkhaulter@budsonline.net with any skill you might have that will benefit B.U.D.S. And keep in mind our annual meeting will be July 3rd along with our Ice Cream social. If you would like to be a board member plan on paying your annual membership fee of $25 before or at the meeting, so you can vote or place your name for a nomination. A board member isn't a huge responsibility, we have a monthly meeting which normally runs about 2hrs at the most. We discuss any new information and how we can reach our community better.
If you have any ideas on how B.U.D.S can be improved don't hesitate to email me.
Thanks to everyone for making this group what it is, lets make it better every year!!
