Fund Raising:
Brian Winslow and Joe Collie shared the
highlights of the recent fund raising committee meeting, held at lunchtime
last Friday, February 15th. In addition to Brian and Joe; Dick Metz was also
in attendance, though Dick was not at the meeting tonight. Some of the highlights
were:
*** Go forward with Bike Week raffle of trip to Bike Week in Myrtle Beach
*** Explore possibilities of charity nights at a bigger track on the seacoast
or return to The Lodge next year.
*** Look at more involvement in the 4th of July Celebration, where we already
have an involvement and a built-in audience.
*** Explore the possibility of an ATV raffle over fair season, culminating
at the Sandwich Fair in October. Joe will explore dates, etc...
Next week, hopefully more information will be made available regarding the
Bike Week Raffle. Also, as indicated, Past President Joe Collie will have
a schedule of possible fairs to attend with an ATV raffle, including dates,
vendor fees, and attendance figures. Stay Tuned.

50/50
Brian Winslow, $16.
Happy
Dollars
Brian Winslow for winning the 50/50 and Roger Landry for Warren buying a
classic pick up truck that Roger was interested in. Now he doesn't have to
spend the money, he can still drive it, and will make money off Warren buying
parts at NAPA. Seems he should have given three happy dollars for that one!
This
is why he's on the fund raising committee: he raises money!
