2015 Rotary TV Auction Update

The deadline for submitting items for the auction is Friday February 27, 2015.  At this point I would guess that we have somewhere between 75 and 80 items, which leaves us over 330 items short.  For those of you who have solicited items and turned them in, thank you.  For those of you who have solicited items and you still have them or you need to pick them up, please, please get them turned in as soon as possible.  As I mentioned at the meeting on the 18th,  this is our biggest fundraiser and it’s success depends on everyone soliciting some items for the auction.  In addition, when the items trickle in late it puts too much pressure on Julie Villemaire and the other auction volunteers who need to input all of the items, it does not let us publicize what we have ahead of time, and it does not give us the greatest amount of time to acknowledge our donors.  So if you have solicited some items please stretch and solicit one or two more.  If you have items on your desk please turn them in and if you are not sure where to take them please call me.  If you haven’t solicited any items yet please do so as soon as possible.  Again, if everyone in both clubs just solicits 3 items we are there.  Thank you all for your anticipated help.
