Retro For a Reason - Together, Let's Make This Fundraiser an Overwhelming Success!
Monica & Cleone from the Awesomeness Committee, details on Rotary’s new fundraiser, Retro For a Reason.
Here's how every club member can help make this event a huge success:
- Buy your tickets by scanning the QR code above.
- Get your groovy hippy/disco attire ready and break out your best '70s and '80s threads.
- Invite your friends, family, neighbours, and colleagues the old-fashioned way or through social media.
- Like and follow the event on Facebook, then encourage others to do the same. Every follow, share, and interaction helps create buzz and expand our reach.
- Spread the word through your networks and favourite community clubs such as sailing clubs, curling clubs, sewing groups, sports teams, and community organizations.
- Post the event posters all over your communities in coffee shops, commercial spaces, community centres, fitness facilities, and condo bulletin boards whenever possible. (Reach out to Cleone or Monica for a poster)
- Out-of-town guests can take advantage of special event rates at the PoCo Inn & Suites, which includes complimentary breakfast and shuttle service.
- Billeting opportunities will also be available for out-of-town guests.
Best of all, every dollar raised supports our club's community service projects and local initiatives. It's truly a win-win for everyone while making a positive impact in our community!
