Hi Margaret,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I told Gary that I would help. Rick is probably available too. We should have a few dining raffle tickets available to sell as well. Is Leona going to be out of town with Toby?</div>

<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Hi Gary (and Mendo Rotarians),</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Gary thank you so much for stepping up to take care of the popcorn and drinks and for being there at 11. I really appreciate you jumping in!</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">A couple of quick things as we finalize plans:</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Should we add something on the sign noting that proceeds will benefit a Rotary cause (Youth programs, scholarships, RYLA, etc.)? It might help encourage a little extra support if people know where the funds are going.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Also, do we want to keep it simple at $5 for popcorn and a drink, or list it separately as $3 popcorn / $2 drink? Either works. I just want to be clear before we make the signs.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Would anyone else be willing to help Gary with sales? It might make sense to break it into two shifts:<br>
• 11:00–1:30<br>
• 1:30–4:00</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Even covering part of a shift would be helpful. I’ll help as much as I can as well.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Also, would anyone be interested in setting up a small table for Dining Raffle tickets and Rotary Club information? With all the foot traffic during Whale Fest, it could be a great opportunity for visibility.</p>
<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Kindly,</p>

<p>Hi Mendocino Rotary Club,</p>
<p>At our last meeting, I floated the idea of doing a simple, fun fundraiser in Rotary Park during the WhaleFest Wine Walk celebration on Saturday, March 7th, and I wanted to follow up with a few more details.</p>
<p>It’s shaping up to be a big weekend in the Village with the 50th Anniversary of the Whale Wars, the Wine Walk, and lots of related activities. We’re expecting great foot traffic, and if the weather cooperates (which it sounds like it will!), the park should
be buzzing between 1:00pm and 4:00pm (the same hours as the Wine Walk).</p>
<p>My thought is that Rotary could set up our popcorn machine in the park and sell fresh popcorn during those hours. It’s inexpensive, easy to manage, and a great way to be visible while raising a little money. We could also set up a small table to sell Dining
Raffle tickets at the same time.</p>
<p>We didn’t decide at the meeting where the proceeds would go, but I’d suggest highlighting our students. Set out a donation jar designated for student scholarships, RYLA Camp, or even helping offset the Interact lunches (we’re currently spending about $200/month
on pizza). It would be a nice way to connect the fundraiser directly to youth programs we care about.</p>
<p>If the club would like to move forward with this, I’m reaching out because I’ll need someone to help take the reins and coordinate. I’m happy to support however I can, but I’m serving on the Chamber WhaleFest Committee and will also be hosting a winery at
Engel & Völkers that day so my dance card is pretty full.</p>
<p>Please let me know your thoughts. I think this could be a fun, low-lift way to show up in the community and raise a little extra support for our programs.</p>
<p>Warmly,<br>
</p>
<div>Margaret</div>
