The Power of Ten
A new approach to Re10tion!
Our Council has begun to impliment the Power of Ten Retention Program that was introduced at the last District Deputy Seminar. It is designed to get or keep all Brothers of the Council involved in Council Programs in any way that they can. If successful, this program will greatly reduce the need for Suspensions.
A key component of the Program is selecting 10 Team Leaders. All members of the Council will be assigned to a Team, and a Team Assistant will then be selected. Team Leaders and Assistants will not have to give much time to this Program, but the little you will give will be invaluable to your Council.
Team Captains have been selected, and all members have been assigned a team! Teams have been assigned a general program category. The next steps are: Selecting a team assistant leader and assigning the next events to the teams. Then the process of Membership Preservation can begin.
Surge with Service! Words we live by that turn into action.
Programs bring new Members, and Members bring new Programs.
Service programs - giving our time to help our Parish and those in need.
Fundraising - Giving time to raise the money that puts our programs into action.
Socializing - providing fun for Brothers and Families.
