While everyone is thrilled with how hard Tracey has been working to pull together all of our fundraising projects, it was brought up that we should do more service projects. Tracey will bring a list of potential projects to our next meeting. We also discussed club attendance. In order to encourage attendance, in the future we will be posting the attendance in this newsletter, makeup meetings will be noted, so be sure to let Charles know when you makeup a meeting! We will also start to include a financial scorecard in the newsletter to give you, the members, a better idea of how the club is running. This is your club, so let us know what you want to do as a club. Special Event: Angel Tree We are scheduled to Volunteer at Valley View Mall again this year for Angel Tree. We are scheduled for: November 21st: 9:45 am - noon and 11:45 am - 3:00 pm Each shift requires 3 volunteers Please notify Tracey Bruce if you can work one of the two shifts at traceyabruce@gmail.com Special Event: Holiday Party The Addison Midday Rotary Holiday Party December 6th 2009, 6:00 pm Addison Town Hall 5300 Belt Line Rd. Dallas, Texas 75254 Special Event: Rotary Resolution Run January 16, 2010 For more information go to www.rotaryresolutionrun.com Raffle: Every Week! Show me the money! We will have a “BIG JACKPOT” raffle drawing every week. Here are the rules. - The drawing will be held every week after the speaker concludes. Tickets can be bought up to that time. $1 for 1 ticket, $5 gets 6 tickets. - A ticket will be drawn at the end of the meeting. - But the weekly winner, will not automatically get the jackpot. To ensure we have a BIG JACKPOT, we then ask the winner to draw the “winning card” from a standard deck of 52 cards. If they pull the “winning card”, they get the BIG JACKPOT. - How do we determine the “winning card”? After the jackpot is won, we will draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. That card becomes the “winning card.” It is reinserted into the deck. - If a non-winning card is drawn by the weekly drawing winner, that card is discarded. This means the odds of drawing the “winning card” will improve every week as the BIG JACKPOT grows. - The jackpot is rolled over every week until the “winning card” is drawn. - The value of the BIG JACKPOT will be reported in the newsletter. - Half of the winning pot goes to the Addison Midday Rotary Foundation.
