Time to sell the roses!
We would like to reach out to everyone regarding the Rose Sale and the procedures to follow for our big fundraiser. The money we raise goes to support our youth programs and STRIVE scholarships. 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 may be confused by the information they receive. Roses are again to be sold for $20 a dozen.
Your sales information will be sent by email and you can print your own materials.
The email will include the following:
- 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. Growers choice is dozens of roses in different colors that the grower chooses to send for us to give out.
- Slip (to be sent later) to turn in- with your name and how many dozen roses you are ordering of Red or Grower’s Choice (you may also email this information to Amy.) You can fill in the amount paid or owed at that time. PLEASE DO NOT HAND IN THE MONEY UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL OF IT COLLECTED.
We are asking this year if every Rotarian will please work hard to sell their 12 dozen roses. We have 51 Rotarians and if everyone does their part to sell the roses that would be 612 dozen roses – WOW- that would knock it out of the park with our profit for the club being approximately $9,000 - that is huge and we definitely need this fundraiser more than ever. Many members sell many more than expected so please try to do your part.
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 $ 150.00 to the club. We are just asking everyone to participate this year.
Key dates:
Kick off of the Rose sale is October 7th and orders are due on October 21st. Please give it your best!
Delivery date is set for November 9th and ROSES can be picked up at BLOOM FLORAL AT 408 CENTRAL AVENUE, FARIBAULT MN, BEGINNING AT 10:00 AM.
Thank you everyone for your hard work and commitment to this fundraiser for the Faribault Rotary
