Possible answers

1. Facebook Group — Facebook Group is the odd one out because a website and newsletter are communication or publication formats that can be produced by an association, whereas a Facebook Group is a social-media group and interactive online community.
2. chair — Chair is the odd one out because a secretary and treasurer have specific administrative or financial responsibilities, whereas the chair normally leads and presides over the association and its meetings.
3. constitution — Constitution is the odd one out because minutes and reports are records of meetings, activities or events, whereas a constitution sets out the rules and purposes of the association.
4. street play — Street play is the odd one out because clean-ups and tree planting are environmental or improvement activities, whereas street play is primarily a recreational or community activity.
