Volunteer Information
What does JTM need from volunteers?
A few areas where volunteers can help are video recording / taking pictures during various events throughout the year, stage setup, serving food etc. Apart from the above mentioned task, every member is requested to cook one item for just one event per year. This is needed because except for 1 or 2 events almost all the events are potluck dinners / lunch / snacks.
Will I or my kids be able to participate in more than one program per event?
The decision will be made by the EC and the event coordinator, depending on the number of programs and number of entries. We want to give equal opportunity to all.
Do I have a right to check the balance sheet of JTM?
Yes, as a JTM member, you have a right to know and ask for the balance sheet. There will be a General Body Meeting 2 times ( Feb and Oct ) a year, which is open to all the members, where the current EC is required to disclose all expenditures and income.
