projects.
The purpose of this committee is to rebuild the relationships with service clubs
and volunteer organizations within Tillsonburg.
Staff to put together a list of projects so that the committee can present the list to
the service clubs and then they can determine which projects they wish to take
part in.

Council representatives to each club. The club could then determine if they are
interested in participating in a project. Presentations to committees will be done
by Council members so that Council is the face of the committee.
