Krista gave us an update on the Santa Raffle...Brian Perkins has already sold 25 tickets! Unbelievable, Brian...making us all look bad hahah. Great work in all seriousness
Joe gave us an update on Castleton hockey teams in lieu of Terry, as he was absent...men lost again, women still undefeated.
Ron handed out flyers of what folks will encounter selling trees. He urged us not to take credit card sales for $5 santa raffles. Try to get cash on those if you can. Make sure you fill things out all the way and that your hand writing is accurate and legible.
Rich Thanked Rotarians for getting tree site ready.
Joan has agreed to buy her clients who bought or sold a home with her over last year a tree, so if someone comes in with a coupon saying so, Joan will pay for those at later date.
Cale has also added an online tree shift sign up to our website. Brian Perkins is the first in history to sign up so far virtually.
Message from President Mark:
At the Tree shed, he will be having a banner that lists all of our corporate members and the names of individual members. If you would not like your name listed, simply let Mark know.
Raffle:
Steve White won little pot, not so lucky on the big one.
I had to leave early during Tom's speech...sorry I couldn't get the details.
