Committee Members Sought

Our mission calls for us to preserve the Miami and Erie Canal as a viable resource? for the communities it touches. We are seeking volunteers to help in a number of areas, especially getting the word out about MECCA.The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

MECCA is continuing to organize committees to help promote the MECCA mission. Most of the committee work can be done by phone, mail/email and on schedules established by the respective committee members themselves.

Current committees include: Membership; Education; Fundraising & Budget; and Activities & Work Days. If your are interested in volunteering in any of these interesting and enjoyable committees, please contact us at meccadirector@nktelco.net; or drop us a line at: MECCA, 130 S. Washington St.; P.O. Box 246; New Bremen, Ohio; 45869-0246
