There are three tiers of bi-laws that a Chatelaine must adhere to. These levels are Society, Kingdom, and local group.

-
Greet Newcomers
-
Help Newcomers feel confortable in your group by introducing them to members who share the same interests, inviting them to participate in activities to encourage everyone's involvement.
-
Help Newcomers get started in the right direction by giving them information about the Kingdom and local heirarchy, encourage them to get a paid membership, help them with garb, tell them about events, newsletters, help them to chose a name and a representative time frame for their persona, and invite them to come to local meetings, for instance. Remember to give newcomers time to adjust, as too much information at once can cause people to lose interest before they truly get started.
-
Organize and conduct demos.
-
Report to the Kingdom Chatelaine or their regional representative quarterly (Jan., April, July, and Oct.)
-
Report to your local group monthly.
-
Keep records of your local chatelaine activities, projects, and reports.
-
Communicate with Newcomers, local members and officers, and other chatelaines.
-
Maintain and Administer a Gold Key.

Here is an article that discusses the hows and whys of quarterly reporting:
