Membership Committee

Christy Vonderschmidt is heading up the group and actively looking for welcoming individuals to help promote membership in the community council. The committee supports outreach efforts to increase volunteering. Individuals can make a real difference by approaching community members and promoting a positive image of the Mt. Washington community. If you have not been involved and have some great ideas, this may be your opportunity.

Christy is currently seeking volunteers to fill and distribute our Mt. Washington welcome bags which are given to new residents and/or bake cookies or other snacks for the MWCC member meetings.

She also has Mt. Washington t-shirts for sale which feature the water tower and the "MW" logo.

Please contact Christy with any questions, to express interest in the membership committee, volunteer to help with the welcome bags or baking, or to buy a t-shirt.

The membership committee meets every first Tuesday of the month in the recreation center from 9am to 11am.
