Many of you have been generous volunteers during the Holiday Classic two-day event each December. The Classic has been a very successful fundraiser with proceeds going to local non-profits and Rotary projects supporting youth programs in our area. Thanks to Rotarians, like you, who participate and support the event, the Holiday Classic has given more than one million dollars in support of area youth! For that, we thank you!
A lot of time and effort goes into planning this event with work happening all year long. The Holiday Classic is in need of additional committee members! Specific needs include finance, marketing, logistics for event days, and seeking sponsors and advertisers, just to name a few.This event is a three-club initiative and members from all three Rochester clubs are invited to join the committee!
The committee meets the fourth Monday of every month, 11:30 am -12:30 pm, currently via Zoom. If are interested or would like to know more about joining the committee, please reach out to co-chairs Jon Losness (jonl@familiesfirstmn.org) or Tamsen Leimer (tamsenl@fmcommunity.com.
