You also provide the pre-meal prayer, check attendance, announce guests and visiting Rotarians, manage the marble drawing and provide "Fun & Frolics."

McHenry County College wants to thank the Rotary Clubs of McHenry County for their generous donations to the Liebman Science Center. To show their appreciation, they are inviting all members to breakfast and tour of the facility.
The steering committee met on Saturday, Feb 16 and got the visioning underway. We started with a video of presentation by Simon Sinek on Why. You can see the video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYeCltXpxw
The committee has identified the different stakeholders who we asked for feedback and ideas about CCH. A second survey was sent to the club. The club is now up to approximately 40% completion rate on the survey. WE WANT 100% COMPLETION!!! THIS WILL ONLY TAKE 5 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME. UNLESS YOU ARE A SLOW TYPER; THEN IT WILL TAKE 6 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME. Just do it. (No money changed hands from Nike...)
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.
