Thirteen years supporting School District 11 and Rotary service projects!
We’ve come so far through time, improving and innovating every year. As the primary fundraiser for our club, we have raised well over one million dollars for these projects. Even though we have been constrained this year due to COVID-19, we are forging ahead with our plans. The artists have started creating their pieces and are sending us pictures and videos of their work in progress. We will have them on our new website in a couple weeks. We’ll let you know when it’s live.
As to the event, it is scheduled for September 26th at the Boot Barn next to Bourbon Brothers on the north side of town. We are building as much flexibility as possible into our plans so we can accommodate various scenarios. Right now, it looks like we will have a hybrid event, that is limited attendance in person as well as a virtual, live-streamed opportunity to participate. What all that looks like is still in the planning stages and we will report to you as we go along.
Now for some things we need from you. Our new website will have a history page called “Through the Years.” We want to include memories, factoids and other historical information as well as any pictures we can find. If you would be willing to share your Flight experiences and history with us, we’d be grateful. If you have a creation (or several!) of your own and will share some history and pictures, they would be appreciated. You can contact any of the Flight committee members including Caryn, Rodney and Claudine for further information.
Also, there’s no time like the present to start thinking about next year. All of us on the Flight committee want to make sure this project is successful for many years to come. So, we are looking for members who would be interested in joining Flight next year and would be willing to shadow our committee this year to learn the ropes (and butterflies!). Some of the opportunities are Artist Management, Fabrication, Sponsorships/Partnerships, Logistics, Website, Marketing, Video/Photography, Silent Auction, Live Auction, Raffle and of course, Co-Chairs. Many in our committee will stay on for another year or at least be involved in some way but just in case, we want to be prepared. It takes a Rotary village to make Flight 2020 a success and we need you!
