We also asked Rotarians to come prepared to decide on alternative fundraisers (to our Casino night that we are not having) which you can read about in this email (below) I sent last month. </div></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have a rough draft of the mailer letter to send out, and I plan to bring it. </div><div dir="auto">I played phone tag with Linda of Soroptimist, who I’ve yet to meet up re: Bingo Night.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Please show our club leadership we are following the four way test. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am in communication with Serena Acker, the Interact Advisor and expect to have feedback on collaborating with the students on a fundraiser event soon</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks,</div><div dir="auto">Donna</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Donna Schuler</strong> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:schuler.donna@gmail.com" target="_blank">schuler.donna@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, Jan 25, 2019 at 9:30 AM<br>Subject: Committee budgets and actions<br>To: Serena Acker <<a href="mailto:serena.acker@gmail.com" target="_blank">serena.acker@gmail.com</a>>, <a href="mailto:rotary@lists.mcn.org" target="_blank">rotary@lists.mcn.org</a> <<a href="mailto:rotary@lists.mcn.org" target="_blank">rotary@lists.mcn.org</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="auto">Hi everyone,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Did you see Harold’s email after yesterday’s board meeting? Since we don’t have Heather back yet (our secretary- for our new members) there was some other discussion that happened around our committee budgets and fundraising. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I was pleased to hear from Serena and Interact students last week that they would partner with us for a fundraiser. That wasn’t the first time they offered. They are smart and energetic students we’d be wise to partner with.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Also at that meeting, Jeff Stubbs brought up the 24 hour marathon. Students liked that idea. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I brought up bringing back Bingo like Soroptimist did and that Interact worked for years. Aleta, who would like be our Interact advisor likes the bingo idea. I am contacting a Soroptimist treasurer Linda, who can share their last Bingo event details with me. I’ll being that to our next board meeting. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">And doing a mailer, which I will take up writing a draft. We can gather up names from our golf, casino and other contact list, and names that John Porter will share. Not his most personal friend list, and we are not asking that of any of you. </div><div dir="auto"> </div><div dir="auto">Our board agreed that committees need to meet in the next three weeks, then come prepared to the board meeting on 2/28 to discuss and take actions on the options for reduced budgets and fundraisers.</div><div dir="auto">This action is needed needed because we cancelled Casino night this Feb -and maybe not hold again. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">There is much more that we discussed about website, park and other issues that I won’t get into here.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am traveling to the east coast for work in February and March, and Chris is having hip replacement surgery on Monday. I’ll do my part as I am able. Now that our Rotary list serve is working again, I hope that committee work will get active before our next board meeting. </div><div dir="auto"> </div><div dir="auto">Today is sunny and beautiful, I hope you are in good health and enjoying it. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Warmly,</div><div dir="auto">Donna</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="m_-3596816409753758115m_-8885902551540518334gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Sent from Gmail Mobile</div>
