Addison Midday Rotary - Newsletter - Archive (Jan 22, 2010)

We will be meeting to discuss the Haitian Earthquake Relief, Million Dollar Dinner and more! Please join us!

Audrey Rivera is the Operations and Supply Chain Manager at Billy Jealously LLC, a Men's Grooming Brand. Audrey has worked there for almost 3 years growing their sales over 100% during the first fiscal year she was there!

Audrey will speaking to us about what she is involved with in her free time - the Christian Prison Ministries. CPM is the coordinator of cooperating ministries that have been allowed to operate a faith-based wing at the Beto Maximum Security Prison. They are brining religion into the prison.

Michael Newhouse spoke to us about SEO and social media. He said that the most important things for SEO to remember are content, page titles, meta information, URLs and links.

For social media he spoke about Facebook (he only had 20 minutes folks!) and he told us having a page on Facebook helped both Starbucks and Barnes and Nobles in getting their brand name out and keeping in touch with their consumers.

Special Event: February 2nd, Valentine's Day Project

Be Prepared to have fun on February 2nd, instead of a speaker we will be stuffing 250 bags of goodies for the kids of Metrocrest Services. If you have an idea for something you can get donated for the bags, please e-mail either Tracey or Chris D.

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.
