Business Meeting tonight.  

 

We will run Zoom ONLY meetings at 6:30 on Wednesdays for the foreseeable future.  Next week's meeting is the night before Thanksgiving so we will have a Zoom call mostly for socializing...no agenda or speaker.  We really enjoyed Tasteful Connections so we will plan on returning there once the virus is under control.

 

Pasta Dinner Review:  it is looking like we are doing well vs last year on a net profit basis which is extraordinary given the circumstances.  We will definitely net more than budgeted so we have more $ for community programs and donations.  Congrats to the top ten ticket sellers for a tremendous effort:  Dominick Fantauzzo, Rich Tantalo, Lou DiPrima, Dan Dwyer, Bob Spatola, Jennie Gugino, John Mendick, Dave Shaheen, Louis DiPrima, & Norb Rappl.  See Bob Scheidt's emails for more details.

 

Budget Discussion:  Due to higher than expected profits from Pasta Dinner, we will increase several budget items.  President Tom led us in a line by line review of the puts and takes.  After the meeting, he sent out a detailed email with the updated info.  Please review that and get back to him with any questions/concerns.  

 

Dan Dwyer updated us on ROC City gala.  It is cancelled but there will be an online auction during the first week in February.  150-200 items (mixtures of wine baskets, etc.) from the Raise A Glass event will be raffled with proceeds going to the participating Rotary Clubs.

 

Holiday Baskets project will proceed but no party this year.  A skeleton crew will assemble the baskets in a socially distanced manner.  More details to follow.  Let Terri Bastuk know if you are interested to volunteer.

 

It's ROTARY FOUNDATION Month....see Kenn Van Dieren with $100 if you are interested in donation.  Kenn will contribute Paul Harris points to donators.
