Board decides to end Shrimp & Crab Boil

The Board held a special called meeting on Friday March 2, 2012 to address the future of the crab/shrimp broil.  T he financial information was shared that showed a steady decline in the net income from this fundraiser.  After much thought, consideration, and discussion it was the feeling of the board that we discontinue the crab/shrimp broil so we may focus our energy toward the Run as a sole fund raiser of that day and increase that fundraiser to not only make up the little net we gained from the crab/shrimp but surpass it.  Below you will find the financial information the board was presented.  

	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	2011
Income	$11,789.00	$12,165.00	$12,720.00	$11,173.80	$10,320.00	$8,320.00
Expense	$5,989.02	$7,586.24	$8,558.77	$7,753.08	$7,752.73	$7,283.91
Net	$5,799.98	$4,578.76	$4,161.23	$3,420.72	$2,567.27	$1,036.09

Please know this was not an easy decision for there has been a long and rich history with the crab/shrimp (and in the past lobster).  With the thought in mind that the purpose of Rotary Fundraiser is to make a difference in the community, then we must do our very best to help out those organizations that receive that which we raise.
