Update 8/8/19

Committee is working on getting a formal agreement in place with the Village before going public with the fundraising efforts. This may push the final install date back. 

 

 

Mike C made a motion to move forward with the Rotary Clock Purchase. Laurel E seconded the motion. The motion was approved. 

 

Cost will run about $40,000.  We have already saved $20,000.  Need to cover concrete slab and installation with a lift truck.  Location will be by the Fountain in front of Toot Toots. We will solicit donations by offering embossing on 2 panels of the clock with a smaller font that will have names on them. 40 names at $250 on 2 panels=$10,000.  On other 2 panels 10 businesses on 2 panels at $1000=$10,000.

Also can change schemes if needed as we get closer. For example, 80 names on 4 panels instead of businesses.

We will send out publicity on 10/1/19 and them solicit donors.

Working on Insurance and upkeep responsibilities of the clock. Rotary International will not donate to this project.

 

The Rotary Clock is now an agenda item on of the committee meetings at the Village Hall to work on an agreement between Rotary and the Village.  Suzie did a great job representing the club. It looks favorable that the village will handle the care and maintenance of the clock in the future.
