2.      Contact A/DCCW Family Life Office, Pro-Life Office and Diocesan Women’s Commission.  Ask to be placed on their mailing list, share information and collaborate on projects.

3.      Contact your state Catholic Conference as well as Pro-Life and Right-to-Life organizations on diocesan and local levels.  Place your name on their mailing lists and receive legislative updates.

4.      Communicate regularly with parish and deanery chairmen, not just at meetings.  Make certain that information flows through all rings.

5.      Be knowledgeable about NCCW programs, particularly those that are family-oriented, and share them with your organization.  Adapt them to local needs.

6.      Promote the NCCW Book Program: Helping Children Read for Fun and Future.  This project can be done by any size council and accomplished all at the local level.

7.      Monitor the Media.  Participate in the WRAP (White Ribbon Against Pornography) Campaign sponsored by Morality in Media in the Fall. 

8.      File Annual Reports with NCCW in a timely manner and provide details of your programs and projects.  Ask questions of your NCCW National Commission Chair - she is here to serve.

9.      Share NCCW Bulletin Board and other publications with local chairs.  Utilize NCCW and USCCB websites to keep current on family issues.

10.    Pray for all families and the strengthening of family values.
