Organization

Good Evening My Fellow Rotarians:

Yes, the Craft Fair is over and what I hear from Nancy – we rocked. Now we must give that same initiative to our Annual Macaroni Dinner. We have less than 2 weeks to go.

First, Ticket Sales:

· To date – 121 tickets have been sold. Less than 1/3 of the total for 2022. We need to have a preliminary total for Wednesday evening October 11^th. Our Chef Mr. G needs to plan for dinner.

· Even though we need a count on Wednesday October 11^th, we will plan for additional ticket sales and even “Drive Ups”.

· If anyone needs additional tickets, please call me (860-794-5009), see me at the Wednesday meeting.

· Please remember: If you are purchasing the tickets simply to donate the money to the club, we need to know that. If you are purchasing the tickets for actual meals, we need to know that as well. If you donate them to various civic groups, those will be count as a possible meal.
