Rotaract Happy Hour

Rotarians and Rotaractos welcomed District Rotaract Representative, Elisia Lake, from St. Maarten to Cayman during a Happy Hour event last Saturday at Royal Palms!
   
Individual Fundraising
Submitted by Director John Lee
 
You may have heard me (Treasurer John) talk about this initiative which has been approved for this Sunrise year.  It might suit some of you as an alternative way of raising funds, although clearly not everyone.  The idea is that you could be individually responsible for raising money for the club.  You might have some proposals that have worked for you in the past or some fresh new projects and just want to got on with them.
The board has approved that anyone committing to an individual fundraising target needs to declare this option and at the same time let me know what your plans are.  For my first project, I’m going to be running a dinner party fairly soon (providing the food and wine) where I will ask people make a donation to attend - I think I’ll raise $600.  You might host a wine tasting, a cocktail evening, a knock out football match or a music appreciation event; you could do it as a small team (maybe even make it a committee event); some of you might just get out your cheque book for the $1,500 or make a monthly donation totalling the same.  It’s up to you.
You need to declare you are going to do this by 31st October at the latest.  Think out of the box!  Contact John Lee at: drjohnlee@mac.com
Car Raffle Update
Submitted by PE Christine Matthews
 
Thank you to all the members of the Club who took the time to answer the question posed last week as to which direction the fundraising committee should go with the car raffle. The final results of the survey are:
 
41 members (57% of the Club) voted for the traditional car raffle whereby each member will be asked to sell a minimum of 50 tickets with a face value of $25.00 each.
 
13 members (18% of the Club) voted for the Tesla proposal whereby each member would be asked to see a minimum of 25 tickets with a face value of $100.00.
 
3 members (4% of the Club) wrote in “do something else” – however no alternatives were suggested. Treasurer John does have an alternative to present. 
 
15 members (21% of the Club) chose not to vote.
 
Based on the results of the survey, the Fundraising Committee will now begin to organize a “traditional” style car raffle and select vehicle.
IPP JD did a tremendous amount of work on the Tesla model of the car raffle. Thank you to her for all the work she did. Persons wishing to help with fundraising can contact PE Christine.
Get Your Wine On...So We Can Get Your Corks!
Submitted by Secretary Gina

We received lots of positive feedback from the club meeting where members and guests had the opportunity to design art on brown paper bags in support of the Rotaract Grand Cayman club's Brown Paper Bag Lunch Programme, and will be assisting them again with another crafty project which require wine corks.  Approximately 80 corks are needed so we are asking members to save their corks from bottles of wine or bubbly to be used in an upcoming art activity. As you collect them please give them to Secretary Gina and once we have collected enough corks for the craft, a meeting will be scheduled to include the activity.
