| Our chapter encourages its members to further their knowledge and expand their abilities. The mini-grant program was established for exactly this purpose. Four grants in the amount of $50.00 are given yearly, which must be used for educational purposes. Members must complete an application stating how they will use the grant and to what extent it will help them in their quest for improvement. Winners are then chosen from the applicants by lottery. |
