Our fundraising chair, Linda facilitated a club discussion on fundraising ideas. We're considering adding a winter fundraiser, sometime between Oktoberfest (early Oct) and the Rotary Run (late May). Some of the ideas that came up:
Winter Carnival
Online Auction
Playoff Hockey Pool
Showcasing tiny homes on Coronation Street
Calendar Raffle (daily prize draw for a month)
Mini-golf Tourney
Charity Casino Night
Euchre Tourney
Bowling for $$
Axe-Throwing at "Battleground" in Kitchener
A TED Talks Speak-Easy
Meat Sales
I'm assuming Linda is going to try making some sense out of this and get back to us. Proponents of these ideas should be ready to explain them in more depth (how exactly they would work, what members would need to do, input costs, revenue opportunity).
