Dear Fellow Rotarians:
We would like to reach out to everyone regarding the Rose Sale and the procedures to follow for our big fundraiser. We know that many know how the Rose Sale works as we have done it the same every year, but have realized that we many new Rotarians that very likely are confused by the packet they received if they were not at the meeting when we handed them out.
Roses will be sold at the price of $25 a dozen.
In this email is:
- a flyer to hang up at your place of employment to entice people to buy roses.
- a list to track your orders and what they choose, red or grower’s choice. Grower’s choice is dozens of roses in different colors that the grower chooses to send for us to give out.
- Slip to turn in- with your name (or just answer one of Murray’s email requests), how many dozen roses and broken down into how many of Red and how many growers’ choice - you can fill in the amount paid or owes at that time. DO NOT HAND IN MONEY UNIL ALL HAS BEEN COLLECTED, PLEASE ADD THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO PEOPLE TO SEND MONEY VIA VENMO.
- We are asking this year if every Rotarian will please work hard to sell their 15 dozen roses. We have 48 active membership Rotarians and if everyone does their part to sell the roses that would be 720 dozen roses – WOW- that would knock it out of the park with our profit for the club being approximately $10,800 - that is huge and we need this fundraiser more than ever. Last year we sold 684 dozen. Many sell many more than expected so please try to do your fair share as a club member.
If you struggle with selling roses or just don’t have the time, we are asking each Rotarian to then make a good will donation of $ 225.00 to the club. We are just asking everyone to participate this year.
