Dear Friends,

Thank you for considering me for the position of Secretary for the Free Spirit Alliance. I am a strong believer in the principles promoted by the FSA and believe I would be a great asset to the organization as Secretary.

I am friendly and outgoing, but maintain a serious work ethic when it comes to my responsibilities. whether paid or volunteer. I believe I am well qualified for Secretary, as I have held this post for other organizations including the USS Thagard, a chapter of Starfleet International and the Colmar Fire Department (Colmar, PA) Auxiliary. I also have experience in the paying world as an administrative assistant. I have extensive communications and organizational skills that are not limited to simple typing and filing.

As Secretary for both organizations I was responsible for taking and maintaining the minutes, submitting them to the membership prior to meetings for review and keeping them on file for future examinations. I was responsible for setting up and maintaining the PO Box used for the Thagard and held the keys for the PO Box used by the FD Auxiliary. I also maintained the membership databases for both organizations and in fact created the membership database used by the Thagard. Additionally, my duties for both organizations included membership notifications regarding upcoming events and meetings, as well as receiving membership applications and dues which were then forwarded to the treasurer for deposit in a timely manner. I also received and answered inquiries from the membership and prospective members via email and snail mail which were then reviewed and answered in a timely fashion.

I am very excited about the possibility of filling this role for the FSA and look forward to working with the other elected officers and members in the future.

Blessings,
Penelope (Penni) Schmon
