From Tom at TheSteinthals.com Thu Sep 4 23:03:24 2008 From: Tom at TheSteinthals.com (Thomas Steinthal) Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 23:03:24 -0400 Subject: RFC - Start of Year message Message-ID: <195D73F7-2612-47AB-97A8-78FCA4873384@TheSteinthals.com> Gents - Here is a quick start of year message. I hope the kids are having fun at school. Here is the highlights for this year: * The Carnival will be on Oct 11th. Hutch & I will be co-chairing this event. We will need your help. Three things to get started on: 1 - Save the date, and get prepared to work some of the day. We want to stop having the kids doing the work on the event date. 2 - We need raffle prizes, anything you want to donate 3 - We will have a Carnival planning meeting soon (read: within the next 2 weeks) - watch for the invite. * The Beefsteak Dinner is scheduled for March Madness - March 27th. Save the date. No excuses... Louis McIntyre & Ed Collins will be co- chairs for this event. * The Father Daughter dance still needs to be scheduled. It will be in the Winter / Spring (we are still working on the date) and Eric Gies & Bob Horne will be co-chairs for this event. * We are going to have membership dues of $20 to be a member of the Father's Club. This will be collected at back-to-school night with your updated e-mail address. If you no longer want to be on this list, please let me know and I will take you off.

We need your help with the carnival on Oct 11th. Without your help, this event cannot happen.... We are having a planning meeting at Kelly's on Sept 22th at 7:30pm. Here are the numbers: Last year our raffle brought in $8,860. We need your donation of prizes to make the raffle a success. HELP! We want to clear over $10,000 on this part. Last year we did a silent auction for some golf prizes and raised $2,900. Who wants to donate something for this? We want to blow this away.... Last year the tickets for the rides brought in $3,453 net (we share the gate with PM Amusements). We need you to work the rides and bring your kids, their friends, their cousins, etc... to get this to increase. Last year we sold $1,507 in food and drink (all of which were donated by Billy Powell and some fathers who did Rye Beverage Mart runs...) We had minor expenses of a couple hundred dollars and change. Total gross last year $16,232. Can we clear over $17,500? Come on... Blowing this away is a layup... We need your help with prizes and with volunteering at the event. So, how to help 1 - send me prize donation information 2 - send me your willingness to work on Oct 11th (we'll schedule shifts later) 3 - come to the meeting at Kelly's on Monday to help plan the details Thanks, Tom Tom Steinthal tom at thesteinthals.com (914) 659-2947 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We tried to have a planning meeting last Monday night, but it turned out to be a bad night for all (that is a polite was a saying no one showed up). We are trying again for Tuesday 9/30 at 7:30pm at Ruby's The Carnival is TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY. WE ARE WAY WAY WAY BEHIND where we need to be. If we can't get our act together and fast we cannot run a carnival. Summary for ADD Dads: 1 - We have only 13 volunteers to work. We need 100 (and last year had 107). RESPOND TO THIS NOTE TO VOLUNTEER. 2 - We have only 6 raffle prizes donated. Last year we had 21. RESPOND TO THIS NOTE WITH DONATIONS. 3 - We have some decisions to make re: the carnival, and are attempting to meet on Tuesday to finalize. COME TO RUBY'S AT 7:30. 4 - Raffle sales will start later this week (once we have some more prizes to advertise) Here's the detailed update and it will act as the agenda for Tuesday's meeting: 1 - Rides - PM Amusement is on board. Ed is coordinating 2 - Food - Billy Powell is on board. We need to tell him specifics on what we want (how many hot dogs, hamburgers, etc...). 3 - Drinks - Being donated by someone already - awesome! 4 - Time - last year was 10 - 3. We are going with the same time again. 5 - Advertising - Annette put the event in the Rye Record. We need to get it announced at Mass and in the FYI. 6 - Shifts - last year we had 9am setup, 10 - 12 shift 1, 12 - 2 shift 2, 2 - 4 shift 3 / clean-up. We are doing this again. 7 - Guys to help - we need 100 slots filled. Only 13 people have volunteered so far... Last year we had 107 people volunteer 8 - 8th graders - we are getting some to help - they get community service points. Stacey Leahy is coordinating. 9 - Prizes for rides - we need prizes. Ed Collins took care of it last year and is doing it again. We need to set a budget for him. 10 - Tickets - we talked about having a one price bracelet and no tickets. This was rejected by PM Amusements and agreed to by Ed and I. The argument makes sense. What do we charge for a ticket? $1? $2? 11 - Raffle - We have 6 prizes donated. Last year we had 21. What do we charge a ticket? $10 each? Any volume discount? 12 - AOB?
