At this year's TLA Annual Conference, NMRT will be conducting a raffle fundraiser from our booth in the Exhibit Hall. Proceeds from the raffle will go toward sustaining the NMRT General Fund which allows NMRT to do things like:

• Host conference programs, such as this year's "Making the Most of Your Membership: TLA & You" and our co-sponsorship of the preconference "Links to Leadership: Newer Members Growing TALL"
• Contribute to the TLA Legislative Fund
• Sponsor NMRT members attending the TALL Texans Leadership Institute
• And more!

Three themed gift baskets will be offered as raffle prizes, and we still need lots of help from NMRT members with donations of items to be included in the baskets. You can find a list of items we need donated on the NMRT Fundraiser wiki page: http://newmembersrt.pbworks.com/Fundraiser.

Monetary donations to go toward the purchase of raffle items are also welcome! Any monetary donations left over after the purchase of raffle items will be put into the NMRT General Fund.

Please visit the NMRT Fundraiser wiki page or email Kelly Brouillard, NMRT Chair at kbrouillard@twu.edu for more information.

Thanks for your help!

Dear New Members Round Table Members:

The Annual Conference is coming up sooner than we realize! We are working hard to make this year's NMRT booth a success. We still need more volunteers to donate 1 (or more!) hours of their time during exhibit hall hours. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me so I can schedule you in.

Yours,
Lynda Muller
Chair, Exhibit Hall Booth Committee
