Ownbey Class Helping Hands  Committee Guidelines (approved 08/03/03)

Name:   The committee and the class activities will be known as The Ownbey Helping Hands.

Purpose:  To identify and/or investigate service opportunities that could warrant financial or time and talent participation of the class.

Operation:   The committee is made up of five class members. The president and the treasurer are ex-officio members.

 

All requests for class participation in any service opportunity will be directed to one of the committee members. After investigation, the committee will review the information and determine if the project is appropriate for the Ownbey Class. Qualifying service opportunity will be presented to the class for their approval.

 

NOTE: In early 2006, president Janie Jones  asked for volunteers several times to serve as  members and chair of Helping Hands. No one volunteered. The class approved, on a temporary basis and until the  vacancies are filled, that the class as a group would consider and vote on projects. (April 09, 2006). On May 14, 2006 John Rasberry was named Chair.

 

Funding:   The initial funding of The Ownbey Helping Hands resulted from an anonymous contribution of $1,500. It is suggested that as the balance in the fund approaches $0.00, the class will finance any approved opportunity by taking up special collections until

the required money has been raised. Special contributions to the fund such as memorials, recognitions of achievement, special gifts etc. should be promoted and encouraged.

Focus:   The financial commitment to any one project should not exceed $500. We will seek out short-term projects (not to exceed 6 months duration). Our efforts should be limited to class member assistance, our church and church supported needs and those of the Charlotte area community.

Reports:   The committee will present a financial and status report to the class twice each year. The committee will also report to the class whenever it has screened and selected an additional sharing opportunity for the group's consideration.
