Starting a Chapter

Thanks for your interest in starting a Chapter at your CCRC. The State Bylaws say that 20 members are needed to form a chapter. Contact the State President for assistance. The President can suggest a way to gather a group to share information about MaCCRA and why it is important to have a local chapter.

Here is a list of items that will be helpful in forming a MaCCRA Chapter. Most of the files are viewable. Those that are Word files may be downloaded.
