Jim,50/50, real good idea. We do the same thing at some of the clubs I
belong to. Bernie

- In a club that I'm in we do a 50/50 drawing at our meetings. Half of the money collected goes to the club and the other half goes to the winning ticket. There is only a roll of tickets to worry about and they sell tickets at $1 each or six tickets for $5. Every meeting they usually bring in $50-$100 ($100-$200 total) depending on how many attend. Just another idea for fundraising.

- Looking at the quarterly newsletter, I noticed that we need $$$$. Since I am a new member I am unaware of what our typical expenses are. Of course the website costs money but what else?
The newsletter indicated that there may not be enough money to cover events like our picnic. Shouldn't the cost of the picnic be completely covered by those who attend? I have belonged to other groups like this where we have used these events to help raise money. Is $6 enough to cover the cost of a family? In the past in other clubs we have done things like auctions or raffles at this type of events. Nothing really planned - people just bring stuff to donate and we bid on them or sell raffle tickets and all of the money goes to the club. Just some ideas to make giving money fun.
One other thing from the newsletter - who are our current officers? I can't find it on the web page. Thanks,
Mike (tollybrew)
