Secretary Johnson explained that service hours are recorded in the service hour binder every week. Travel time can be counted both directions for an activity that is pure service, but it is only counted one way if the event is service combined with something else, like a social. The attendance sheet was passed around, as well as the service binder. Anyone who hasnt filled out a service sheet yet can do so at next weeks meeting. mljohnson9@wisc.edu
