Thanks to everyone who helped out with our Christmas Tree fundraiser this weekend!
Rotarians, members of SADI and other friends/family of Rotary came together this weekend for two successful days of tree sales! Please see the update from Rotarian and Christmas Tree Fundraiser chair, Les Brough, below:
Saturday Update
Thanks to the Saturday Sales Team of Paul, Chantelle, Nick, Jacob, Ann and Michael for braving the cold and achieving the grand total of $1,715 in sales plus additional on-line and credit sales of $200.
My previous reports had missed on-line sales and credit sales as I did not have access to those numbers. Including those sales we have exceeded our expectations and could achieve over $10,000 less expenses. We need a big day tomorrow.
Don and Paul have volunteered to bring more trees down from the farm tomorrow morning and if anyone can lend a hand they will be starting at 10 a.m. Please get in touch with either of them or me for directions.
Tomorrow, Sunday, we have a sales team of Paul, Don, Garry, Jacob and Doug C after 1 pm with myself but if you are available and would like to help, please, you are welcome to give others a chance for a break and getting warm (although we do have a fire pit).
Thanks again to Orv, Bob Hamilton, Doug M, Mike Cosmack, Michael Z, Eric (LeeAnna's son-in-law) and guest Cassidi Wagner (The Chalk House) for hauling trees on Thursday in really poor conditions.
Sunday Update
Don and Paul were up on the hill early on Sunday morning and brought down what will be our last haul of trees: hard work so many thanks to both.
The day was slower than expected but with the help of Paul, Michael W, Garry, Frances and Doug C we managed to achieve another $880 in sales. Currently we are about 10 trees short of obtaining a total of $10,000 before expenses.
We still have about 50 trees left and we have decided to have our final sales next weekend with shorter hours: 1 pm to 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday. We need four volunteers each day. So, if you are available please let me know when: 250-490-8804 or lesbrough@gmail.com.
