STUDENT MEMBER FEE APPROVED

The FCN Board of Directors at their July meeting unanimously approved a student membership fee of $10. This is the first membership fee change in many years and signals the Board's interest in and focus on younger members of our community. The motion, offered by Don Callahan and seconded by Billy Wooten, followed a suggestion by Wooten and others that a lower membership fee for students be considered. "We are starting to see a real energy
focused on issues near and dear to FCN from students at Armstrong, SCAD, and even local high scools", stated Wooten. "Many of these kids are not
working or having to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. We need to make it possible for them to be a part of FCN; voting members who can be
considered for positions of leadership." The new student membership goes into effect immediately.
