FMAD June Club Meeting

When: Wednesday, June 17th, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Where: Creekwood Christian Church, Great Room/Common Area, 2660 Forest Vista Dr., Flower Mound, TX, 75028

What: Join us for our monthly club meeting! At this month’s meeting we are going to learn more about ways you can get involved in your local town/city government. Come learn about the various academies, like the Citizen’s Academy, the Citizen’s Fire Academy, & Citizen’s Police Academy, as well as Boards & Commissions. Come learn about what they do, when they meet, and when & how you can apply. Volunteering in your town/city not only connects you to the community in an important and non-partisan way, but such service can open up more opportunities for you to participate and lead in the future. We will also have Beth Porter Varma joining us to talk about the Texas Water Project and how we can support the homeless over the course of this hot Texas summer. We will be accepting donations of bottled water at our June, July, & August meetings, so be sure to bring a case or two to donate. Like every monthly club meeting, the first half hour is for socializing & snacking. The presentation portion of our meeting will start promptly at 7pm.

The FMAD Club will once again have a booth there, and we are looking for volunteers to help us set up, staff it, and take it down at the end. It’s a great opportunity to tell others about our local club! Please let leadership know if you are interested in helping.
