Help make WI communication lines work Commtmication is an essential ingredient in our lives. It comes in many forms -â€"â€" on a one-to-one basis between two people, or through tele- vision via satellite to reach millions. Whatever form it takes, it is a vital part of our interactions, learning and sharing information. Imagine your life without newspaper. TV. radio, teleâ€" phone, mail service and neighbors. Our organization has a large communication network with a unique information reporting system. Communications received are not only for information, but for action. If action does not follow, there is a breakdown in the chain and a com- ponent of the overall picture is missing. causing problems. As an example. the treasurer has a number of responsibilities. Among these are the following. BRANCH TREASURER â€" sends in the fees and assess- ents, and names and addresses of ife members to the district treasurer y FEB. l. ISTRICT TREASURER â€" compiles all the branch reports d sends them on to the N10 office y APRIL 1. As you will see, if the district reasurer does not receive branch ports on time she cannot meet her eadline. At the same time. the district urer forwards to the FWIO office addresses, telephone mpile and update our mailing lists that we may send our communicate ons to the correct person. If the rig person receives them. then ere has been a breakdown some- here along the line. ONATIONS REPORT This report is now completed by e TREASURER at all levels.
