Last Week's MeetingHappy Birthday Anthony! Rotarians celebrated Samantha's son Anthony's 5th birthday of with a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday and treats. Anthony helped serve birthday cupcakes to everyone and only dropped one! Samantha Turner and Kevin Chiu, 2022 Beerfest co-chairs, shared some details about Beerfest, which returns on Saturday, January 29 to Stambaugh Auditorium. This year, we will be able to sell tickets to friends, family, and co-workers without having them go through the Stambaugh ticketing process. Each Rotarian will be given four tickets to sell, with VIP tickets at $70 each and general admission tickets at $50 each. This price includes the $5 fee that Stambaugh charges when their ticketing system is used. Prices are the same regardless so there is consistency with the cost. And we get to keep the additional $5. The goal this year is to have 25 vendors represented, all from local breweries. Beer vendor chair Troy Rhoades sent out 45 packets of information to the breweries, with 10 of those in nearby Pennsylvania. Do you know of a new brewery? Let Troy know. The vendor participation deadline is Friday, December17. Scott Schulick, sponsorship chair, is asking that each Rotarian secure one sponsor. He will have sponsor packets prepared in an email format for everyone’s use. Just think of how much money our club could grant to local non-profit organizations if everyone brought in at least one sponsor! We could easily top the $43,000 in grants that were given out in 2020. As always, lots of volunteers are needed to help make Beerfest a success. Let Mike Latessa know when you’d like to be there. Volunteers sign-up sheets will be available soon. |
