Dear Redding East Rotarians,
It is time to start thinking about Holiday Baskets. We will assemble and distribute on December 16th this year. With our pandemic rules still in place I am not certain where are pick-up location will be yet but I will let you all know in plenty of time.
As you recall, this year we are paying $55 per basket to cover basket costs. Our finances do not allow us to provide more baskets than what we pay in to donate.
Currently we have a commitment to pay for 95 baskets at a value of $40 each. Of that commitment, only $1,640 @ $55 each has been paid. That means that 41 members who gave their commitment to pay for a basket, have not yet sent in their payments. Please get those $$ in right away.
Redding East Rotary donates 120 holiday baskets every year. The need is even greater this year with so many families losing their jobs due to Covid 19 and/or fires. Just to reach our regular donations, we need 25 glorious Rotarians to pay for another 25 baskets @ $55 each, $1,375 total. Please dig in and see what you can cover.
I will send out requests for reminder calls, packing and delivery soon. Right now, today, I just need to know how many baskets we will have to create and deliver.
