Beach Party! Beach Party! Beach Party!
 
It is only 31 days away!  
 
We learned Friday that only 8 tickets had been sold. That's about 2% of our goal! Get your tickets sold and the info in to Laurie!
 
And for the hundreds of people that will come because we sold those tickets we need to have great ways for them to give their money:
 
  • Have you thought of a live auction item?
    • Major League sports ticket donations
    • Weekend away in a major US city - donate air miles, hotel gift card, limo, restaurant gift cards
    • Do you know of someone who has timeshare to share?  A summer/winter home to share?  Ask for it.
    • Weekend to NAPA Valley.  Sonoma County.  San Francisco.  There is wine AND beer out there.
    • NY NY weekend.
    • Dinner for 6 in your home.  Dinner for 6 at a great local restaurant.
    • Dinner Cruise on Lake Michigan.
    • Think of something that is not readily available, unique and an experience to remember.
  • How many basket items have you solicited?  We are going to bring back the silent auction for the top 10 baskets items.  Get yours on that list!
  • Remember it takes all of us to have a successful event.  ALL. OF. US.  Every year someone is unable to attend, that is life and it is OK.  Yet we still have the prep work to do:  Live auction items, silent auction items, invite guests, etc.  Try and keep Friday of the event weekend open for decorating duty.
 
The work of our club - the grants to the community and to international projects, our backpack program at Woodstock High School, Operation Warmth, RYLA, Peace Essays - just to list a few things is funded through this event. The better we do the more we can do.
