P & R Obligations for Chapters
Each chapter president has been asked to appoint a P & R representative for the chapter. That individual is responsible for keeping abreast of projects nominated for consideration by the chapter and for fielding questions that may arise relative to the grant application during the selection process.
The deadline for sending monies to the State P & R project fund is April 1.
Grant awards will depend on the donations collected between April 1st and the following April 1st.
