[Rotary] A note vote on the Art Fundraiser at Ledford from Fundraising Chair Bruce

[Kira Meade, Broker Associate]

I have mixed feeling about the fundraisers.  If the same people do them 
all then they will get burned out.  I feel I can commit to helping on 
some but not all.  Falls are very busy for me so I would not be able to 
help on this one.  So I will not be voting on this because of my lack of 
availability, if I had to vote it would no only because I am not 
available to work on the fundraiser.

Has there been discussion on only doing an art raffle?

Respectfully,

Kira
