FUNDRAISER PRIZES NEEDED. ... by David Piper
The organizing committee for the Skaneateles Rotary Club annual Christmas fundraiser needs door prizes to ensure that at least 50% of attendees receive a prize. As always , local merchants and professionals are being solicited for prizes, but the committee needs more prizes to meet its goal. All Rotarians (attendees and those that can't attend ) are asked to provide a door prize (bottle of wine, gift card, etc).
To enable the commitee to obtain an advanced count of prizes, all donors are being asked to email Dave Piper(piper97j@yahoo.com) or Roy MacDonald (skantown@gmail.com) ASAP indicating what they plan to donate..
All prizes should be brought to the Country Club when you arrive at the event,or delivered before the event to the Country Club (any time after 3:30). Dave and Roy will arrange them on tables at the entrance.to the dining room.
Reminder: Each table should designate a carver who should bring a knife, fork, apron and vinyl gloves

Don't Forget - the organizing committee needs our Rotarian's support in coming up with raffle prizes. The goal is to have at least 50% of attendees win a prize.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK On Christmas Delight- "Christmas was gluing cotton balls to Santa’s beard in Coke ads, sneaking candy canes off the tree daily (that my parents replaced every few nights), enough gift-wrap to wallpaper a room, the terror and delight of knowing a magical being would enter my home while I slept."...Thomm Quackenbush
