DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE - Members Component

The challenge is to have each member recruit a new member, from his/her family, friends, or other Blais so that the Association des Blais d’Amérique can continue to prosper and serve all those who bear the BLAIS name. The Challenge starts today so we won’t be caught short when it is time to report at the end of the year.

• Familiarize yourself with the information about the Association des Blais d’Amérique on the next page.
  
  
• Identify the BLAIS person to recruit.
  
  
• Present the file (the information and the membership sheet to the Blais we want to recruit).
  
  
• Forward the file and the payment (if check) to the address indicated at the bottom of the "Development Challenge" membership sheet. Development Challenge_form for members.docx or Development Challenge_form for members.pdf
