RFC - Start of Year Message - The Field - Planning for this year

[Tom Steinthal]

RFC Dads -

Yesterday schools started!  Have you been by the school and have you  
seen the new field?  You all helped tremendously for this field to be  
there.  The RFC has been a constant driving voice for a field.  We  
have raised funds that were used toward this field.  The Foundation  
Board voted unanimously to approve the funding for the field.  You all  
deserve praise for supporting the RFC and the Foundation!  One note to  
remember - the field needs 6 weeks for the grass to take root.  Please  
remind your children to respect the signs to stay off for 6 short weeks.

On to this year...  We have a problem guys...  No one has stepped up  
to be interested in running the Carnival, and given my work I cannot  
commit to doing the work I did the last two years.

So from where I sit, I see three options:
A - 2 or 3 of you step up and work with me on the Carnival.  We need  
to choose this option THIS WEEK so we have a shot to plan this properly.
B - We blow off the Carnival, disappoint the kids, and do 2 steak  
dinners (one in the fall and one in the spring), and shoot to raise  
our $25k target in two dinners
C - We blow off the Carnival, disappoint the kids, and do only the  
spring steak dinner and try very hard to raise the $25k target in one  
night.

If you have a view, please send me your thoughts.  If you want to step  
up and help run the Carnival and/or the Steak dinner, please let me  
know.

Thanks,
Tom
