Below is a note from this year's planning committee chair for the Des Moines Rotary Club Multi-Planning Committee. If you are interested in helping this committee plan for next year's event please contact Drew, then call Tamara.
____________
We have finalized our financials for the special June multi-club event. See attached for our financial report.
I am pleased to report that we had net income $6,700 (well, $6,699.38 to be exact).
We believe we had nearly 200 people in attendance. We don’t have an exact count since some clubs didn’t have a check-in person and we know that some folks didn’t get checked in.
But based on our seating, we’re pretty sure we were around 200.
As we discussed as a group in one of our president’s meetings last year and with our planning committee – we plan to hold $1,500 in an account for this committee’s work each year.
That means we will be donating the following to charity – a total of $5,200 -- 50/50. J
· Polio Plus -- $2,600
· Outreach Inc/Food Bank -- $2,600
We had nearly $15,000 in sponsorships, and over $3,600 in registration fees and donations. And we really held down expenses.
We’re thrilled with the amount generated for charity – while we had a great time mingling with other clubs. We actually exceeded our goal going to charity.
We hope you’re thrilled as well.
Now, it’s time to start thinking about the next event. As I mentioned prior, I’d love it if each club had a representative to make up the committee moving forward.
I have a few of our committee members who would like to stay involved too to help build the momentum.
It would be great if it were all of you – since you have a great understanding of what we were trying to accomplish. Or if it’s someone else from your club, that’s good too.
Please let me know if you or another person would like to be involved by next week.
I’ll be setting a committee meeting soon.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Tamara
