A few reminders as we have a BUSY few weeks ahead so please take the time to read this:
Tuesday, December 3rd
Christmas Shopping at 5pm at Walmart. We have 9 people signed up to attend and 42 kids so please drop in if you can so shopping happens quickly.
Wednesday, December 4th
NO WEEKLY MEETING
$100 Raffle Event at 5pm at Duffy's in OOB. ALL tickets and money should be turned in prior. It is your responsibility to get them turned in before then so here are some options:
Bring them to me at Biddeford High School (basement - Leadership Offices near electronic sign). If I am not here, you can leave them with the staff and they will put them in my office.
The $100 Raffle night has been set for Wednesday, December 4th, 5-7pm at Duffy's in Old Orchard Beach. It will take the place of our regular club meeting for that week so please mark your calendar and attend if you can. This only leaves you TWO WEEKS to sell them before the event! Please consider this as my plea to start asking your family and friends now (and collect the money while they are in a Turkey coma).
The $100 Raffle tickets were distributed at this Wednesday's meeting. For those who weren't in attendance, please email me or text me ASAP so we can arrange a drop-off/pick-up. We only have two weeks to sell the tickets as the drawing is on Wednesday, December 4th at 5pm at Duffy's in OOB (no noontime meeting that day).
I have extra tickets if you need any and will have a more accurate count at next week's meeting in which I will start having anxiety for those not yet sold. Also, I need ticket #173 and I must've accidentally placed it in someone's envelope. Can you look and let me know if you have it?
The club's expectation is that every Rotarian will sell (or buy) at least one ticket. I guarantee you all have at least one friend, co-worker, or stranger you can split a ticket with so please make an effort to support our club. We use these funds to support Charitable requests and we cannot do all that we do without this fundraiser.
The Christmas party at Don Pilon's is quickly approaching. The theme this year is 'Merica. This has a wide interpretation and can mean anything to do with America. For example:
1) Presents made in America
2) Presents that represent America: baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet
3) Presents that represent something that YOU love about our country
It's really up to you and I hope you all have fun with the theme.
Presents should be $35 or under. (I do happen to have a few excellent selections fitting our theme and price range at Whimsical ME, 239 Main St. in Saco.)
Remember: please bring one present per person in your party.
I hope everyone had a great day & didn't have too much trouble with part I of this latest winter wonderland!
The next board meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday, December 4th. I need to updated the board on the amount of service hours worked by each Rotarian. I didn't received many updates last time so I'm hoping that we can blow the past updates out of the water this time around.
Every little bit you do counts so PLEASE update me with your hours for the month of November. This includes any District events/meetings you have been a part of.
Please submit your Tack notes to Brian Dallaire at bdallaire@usa.net and with copy to Julie Villemaire at Jvillemaire@maine.rr.com, no later than the Tuesday AM before the next meeting.
