Drawdown Dinner this year will be virtual and held on May 20th. A skeleton crew will broadcast a one-way video stream out to all those participating in the drawdown contest. 100 tickets need to be sold and the format will remain the same. The 1st number drawn and every 10 number will win 2 bottle of wine and $50 (also discussed changing this to a basket of goods). We will need to capture every contestant's email so we can send the video link to them. Still need to discuss how to handle the end of the drawdown as to how the money is divided among the last 5 numbers. More to come on this event soon. District Grant: Terri Bastuk and Lynn Wozniak are creating the grant submission due next week. The project will provide support for Irondequoit Commission Advancing Racial Equity (ICARE). The Town Board has charged ICARE with the responsibility to review, identify, develop and make recommendations about town policies, procedures, practices and programs that seek to build and grow a more equitable community. The Mission of ICARE is: To advise the Irondequoit Town Board on how it can work to make Irondequoit a community where each individual is respected, valued and cherished regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion or cultural identity. Our club will provide support for ICARE to: develop a website with hosting, create teen leadership training through the Urban League and run a Town Forum in September. We will look to have someone from ICARE speak to us in an upcoming program. The 4th of July Parade looks like it will be held. We have submitted paperwork to participate again this year. Earth Day project: President Tom is meeting with the event planners to see what how we may participate. Dates are either May 17 or 24. President Elect Lynn Wozniak is working on details for the Crossover Installation Dinner. She is looking at venues for June 23 or 30. |
