Souvenirs

· Attend all Committee meetings throughout the year.

· The Committee will pick logo to be used. They will decide on colors to be used for all material. This should be done very early on in the year.

· Get several bids from vendors. Amount to be sold will be decided by the Committee. Vendors need to submit a written bid with all charges attached.
