Phone: _________ Email: _

To better promote and market NCCW (National Council of Catholic Women), and torecord for historical purposes some of the many hours that NCCW members giveto council, community and Church, your assistance is needed in documenting thehours of service that the women of our diocese perform over the course of eachyear. This practice helps to communicate to our bishops and clergy, as well asthe public at large, the great value of our councils and NCCW to the Church.

Preparation and transportation time, actual time of project, and clean-up or wind-up activities, all "count" as service time.
