BE A BC-BOOSTER!
The B-C Booster forms are available at BC Booster Form.
Why the branch needs booster money – B-C branch dues of $22 stays with the branch. That adds up to less than $3000 a year. From that the branch pays for meeting space, speakers, insurance, postage, committee expenses, etc. And that is before we fund scholarships for women trying to finish degrees or support STEM Girls of Promise. Your contribution to BC Boosters will help keep us the vibrant organization we are.
Please bring your form and check to a branch meeting or mail your completed form and check to Linda Roberson. Let us keep the important work of Ballwin-Chesterfield going!
