We had a fun club assembly last Friday, discussing the Who’s and What’s of how the calendar raffle will work. We are fortunate to have so many members step up and either donate prizes or solicit donations – thank you to John Perez, Rick Lee, Alan Popp, Bert Carter, Maurice Powe, Samalid Hogan, Bernie Spirito, MaryAnne Herron, Paul Lambert, Jack Toner, Lucie Lewis, Michael Cooley, Lamont Clemons, Laurie Rosner, Gillian Palmer and Rowland Hawthorne! We need a few more prizes so please keep the donations coming! Once we have 31 prizes we can have the page printed and then start selling!!!! We can easily raise $5,000 if every member sells a minimum of 10 pages (at $10 each). All monies raised with benefit The Service Fund. The more money we raise; the more money we can give away to area non-profits this Spring. Rotary Club of Springfield March Calendar Raffle Rules What Is It? A Calendar Raffle is a fundraiser where The Springfield Rotary Club sells special calendars to our supporters. How Does it Work? Businesses sponsor each day on the calendar and donate gift cards, products or services. All of the calendars sold are entered in the raffle jar so that a person has up to 31 chances to win (31 days in the month of March). Names will be pulled at each weekly March meeting How Much Will it Cost? Calendars will be sold for $10 each. The ultimate factor on how much we can make depends on how many calendars we can sell. For example, if we sell 470 calendars (minimum 10 per member x 47 active members) @ $10 each and all of the raffle items were donated, then we would raise $4,700 minus the cost of printing for the Service Fund. Of course, all members are encouraged to sell more than 10 calendars. We need 31 prizes to fill the calendar. We plan on printing a minimum of 500 calendars. Great exposure for businesses that donate a prize! Plus we will include all donors in our weekly Bulletin! Can you solicit and/or donate a $25-$100 value Prize? |
