[Rotary] Committee budgets and actions

[jkk at mcn.org]

Donna,

Thank you for your report.  It shows we have a big job ahead to raise
funds.  It is too much for one person, especially you, with your personal
situation.  I suggest club members review the possibilities, you put
forth, for both the 2018/19 and 2019/20 years.  We should create a
Fundraising Committee of 3-5 members.  Any Volunteers!!!

I pledge to help and will volunteer.
