IF YOU ARE NOT SELLING TICKETS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO FILL THE ROOM. LET'S REALLY TRY - Please - buying 2 tickets for yourself is NOT what we are going for here.
WE CAN ACCOMMODATE TABLES OF 12 OR MORE.
WE CAN ACCOMMODATE GLUTEN FREE
WE CAN ACCOMMODATE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IF WE KNOW IN ADVANCE.
I spoke to someone who is planning to do take out - but did not purchase tickets. If that is you - please give me a head count - We are trying to give Giuseppe a headcount to purchase food.
TAKE THOSE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OUT OF IT - THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT - WE HAVE AN ITALIAN CHEF WHO IS WILLING TO HELP US OUT - WE NEED TO FILL THE PLACE TO MAKE IT WORTH WHILE TO HIM.
Sell the event - Polio, Scholarships, Food, Coats, bikes, etc. Don't sell Pasta - they can get that at Wegman's.
You can email Julie with a head count - for take-out, or dine-in tickets - just so we have a number.
HOLIDAY HAPPINESS
Speaking of numbers - we have one -
$2,746.29. For those of you who stood out in the cold - THANK YOU! Great job
HUNGER RELIEF
Today 148 families - 550 People came through the Church. This is a new record of people that we are helping every week!
Ted at the church shared some numbers with us. Since 9/18/22, average is 109 families and 384 people per week. That is 7,297 people, since September. Not bad folks. Something to be really proud of!
THE ROTARY FOUNDATION - ANNUAL GIVING
You each received an email from our Special Advisor Julia Phelps asking for an extra donation to The Rotary Foundation Annual Giving Fund. That is what funds the global and district grants. Our club gives annually on your behalf $100 per member per year. They are asking for any extra donations you might want to give. Any donation $100 or more made on your own will get you matching Paul Harris credits on your account. See last week's newsletter about Paul Harris credits.
She is trying to hold the district together and it would be nice if we could support her.
This year's Rotary Theme is: Imagine Rotary
Next Year's Rotary Theme: Create Hope in The World.
Extra piece of bacon if you know this is the last line of the newsletter.
