Remember LMJS is entirely run by volunteers, and now we need some of you to step forward and help with the actual operation of the club and its many activities. If we don't get enough members to respond, some of our current activities may have to be scaled back. Any club member is welcome to serve on these committees, either Board or Operational - wherever you have an interest. Each committee will usually be headed up by a Board member who will chair it. Committees may meet in person or virtually, via e-mail, conference call, etc. The time commitment is estimated to vary from as little as 1 hour a week to 2-3 hours per week, it depends on the topic, scope of the work, and timeframe for completing the work.

So, please review the above list of committees and e-mail Len at: lgoldman@pacbell.net if you are interested in serving on one of them.
