C&B  (Charity and Benevolence)

 As  we begin this years campaign, I would like to congratulate all the Councils last year that achieved bonus status as over $103,000 was distributed back to local councils.

We commend to those Councils  who made the Comeback Club. Books have been given to the Minor Co-ordinators who will be distributing them shortly. Councils should be planning their activities for Spring functions. The Quick Start drawing will held on Sunday July 20 at the Villa Roma. This drawing is only for back covers.

A few changes for this year 
               - Charities supported with C&B funds are listed on the back page
                - The winner's Council  of Quick Start and Early Bird  Drawing top prize will receive $200 for the Quick Start
                      and $400 for the Early Bird to be donated to the Charity of the winners Council choice if they make Quota. 

                      This  replaces   the  Book Credits award.
                 - There will be an award at the 2026 Convention to the top DD in each Conference who has the largest growth of books

                      per member for their District.

 Last year we grew books per member to .88 in the State. One book per member is reachable if everyone gives it a little extra push. Please contact me if you need any assistance or have any questions.

Good luck to you and your Councils with your Sales in supporting both the State and your local charities.
Fraternally,
