Addison Rotary Meeting December 26, 2007 Members present:
Meeting opened at with the Pledge, Rotary motto, prayer and lunch. The drawing for the winner of the car raffle will be held January 2. Not enough tickets have been sold to support the raffle, so the membership has the following options to consider: Plan B - ask the winner if he/she will be willing to accept a lesser prize-- the funds that have been collected-rather than the car lease Plan C - Give the $12,000 prize and bill membership an additional $125 on a quarterly basis next year to make up the difference. Plan D - Give the $12,00 prize and make up the difference through future fundraising efforts Plan E - Give tax receipt for $12,000 and ask winner to 'donate back' overage, giving winner a tax deduction for the difference Plan F - Extend ticket sales one more month Plan X - Call ticket buyers and offer to give them their ticket purchase cost back
