We are redeveloping Word Walk Curriculum. It will now begin January 1. We plan to provide at least 12 lessons per year. Please see the Chapter Renewal Email or contact Joe for further details regarding lessons for 2022.

CHAPTER ACTIVITIES, MEETINGS, AND EVENT DETAILS

ALL CHAPTER ACTIVITIES (outside of a Chapter meeting) must be reviewed with the National Office to determine what is required to comply with liability insurance (for example some may need a registration process through STM).

Each Chapter should hold at least 1 shared-revenue Fundraiser/year. Participants will be required to register online. This event will be setup in collaboration with the National Office with registration through the STM website.

For 2023, we are asking you to ONLY schedule these events during: JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. AT LEAST 6 MONTHS BEFORE YOUR EVENT, contact Natalie at the National Office to schedule this event into the Calendar.

Promotional Material Prices have been rapidly changing. If your Chapter needs business cards and/or other promotional materials, contact the National Office and we will provide you with the current pricing.

Blind Services department continues to produce tools and materials. IF you have a person with visual impairments and/or blindness in your Chapter meetings, please contact Nettamara to see what additional resources can be provided.

COPYRIGHT LICENSING: IF you are projecting song lyrics, movies, and or media clips, you MUST confirm that the church you are meeting in holds the appropriate licensing. IF NOT, please contact the National Office to purchase copyright licensing.
