[October Volunteer Hours Report]

October report attached.

Working to collect/record FNPS Grant-funded project hours as these are needed to bill for grant monies "unlocked" by matching volunteer hours.  Delay in reporting is causing delay in billing and receiving grant funding.

Note that about 25% of FNPS State-Wide hours are for activities organized and completed by Multiple-Chapter groups.  Will recategorized those to Chapter hours to provide a better picture of how mission-related work is being initiated and completed.  Also note that about 25% of FNPS State-Wide hours are for the Annual Conference, and 15% are for Lunch & Learns.  The remaining 35% of hours (about 1,500) are primarily Society governance and operations including website maintenance.
