We have a new Mite Goal. In convention on Sept. 18th 2010, YOU voted a new mite goal for the 2010– 2012 biennium of $65,000. And we have 10 – yes 10 – new projects to fund. Let’s get started NOW!
I know that’s not a large increase – and that we did not meet our goal for the last biennium. But I have faith – faith in the ladies of the Carolinas District – and Faith in God – that we have chosen well and according to His will and with His help we’ll meet this goal for the new biennium. We have 10 new projects that have been prioritized to receive grants from the Carolinas District over the next 2 years. All are worthy projects and to meet the goals set at convention we will need everyone’s help and support.
Please remember that TMH Week (Trainable Mentally Handicapped) at Camp Linn Haven remains in the operating budget.
To meet our mite goal for this biennium we need to collect an average of $2830 a month. I have confidence in the women of the Carolinas, we can do it. I remind you to send your mites in regularly, once a month if you can, so that we have a good handle on where we stand and what we have left to do.
