organizes their own meeting schedule. SCV Chapter 91

|
| As a member, do I have
to volunteer for service projects? |
| You may come and
attend our meetings for the fellowship and support you gain
from being with other military mothers. While we encourage
volunteerism, it is not a requirement to join. |
|
|
| Are
your meetings casual? |
|
Yes, but we would like our members to show
their solidarity by wearing the Blue Star Mother T-shirt;
however, it is not required. We do encourage everyone
participating in outside functions to wear their shirts and show
their pride in being a member of our chapter and most
importantly, their pride in their military loved one. |
