We’ve accomplished all these tasks with a volunteer Board, consistent meetings, holding one another accountable to get the tasks completed while increasing NC NORML’s overall effectiveness!
To make the impact needed to continue our growth, we have established a working budget for 2020. Our goal this year for membership funds is $12,500.00 to ensure that we are able to have as many events as possible and to cover production costs.
A strong foundation of strong material is now finished and we need you to take us to the next level.
