Greg Drops Harley Raffle! He talks about "New Idea".

Greg Pfau recommended to the Rotary Board of Directors that we drop the Harley Raffle. His reasoning was that the raffle had run it's course, and we have run out of new and creative ways of pushing it. He explained that it was the same people selling all the tickets , and it was the same people buying all the tickets, and it was time for a change.

His new idea for a fundraiser is still in the formative stages, but he says that it will be less work for the club, because it will be done by an outside contractor. The fundraiser will focus on a different group of people than normally support our club projects. It will be a new and refreshing change for everyone.

The project is being held confidential at this point, just to protect Greg's idea from being used by other groups. It will probably be held in the spring of the year, when not much else is happening about town. It was voted unanimously that board of directors, and Garberville Rotary club, support Greg in pursuing his "New Idea". Greg has worked tirelessly on the Harley Raffle, and almost single-handedly brought us the very successful "Garberville Rotary Golf Classic". It was decided that even if this "New Idea" fails it is worth a try due to Greg's phenomenal success at his other projects. The support that the board showed for Greg was heartwarming... That and the thought that we might get out of a bunch of work that we do to sell Harley Raffle tickets. Thanks Greg, "You the Man"

Dennis' Debunking goes fine, "thank-you verra mush!"

The weather was great, as you know. There was about 45- 50 happy people in attendance. The pool was icy, but the kids enjoyed it immensely, especially the water slide.

Nancy told two good fishing jokes and bad one. Elvis flew in from Nashville. We ate hamburgers. We drank...
Elvis wiggled out of his belt, it was a good thing that he was wearing a jump suit.
It took a half an hour to get the barbecue crew to hold still long enough to take their picture.
I didn't hear the joke but the people at the table did.
