RFC Update - Start of Beefsteak planning

[Tom Steinthal]

Gents -

As I mentioned over the last two nights, we are shaking things up this  
year....  In case you missed it, we are moving the events around, and  
are starting the beefsteak dinner planning this week!

Dates
Oct 23 - Beefsteak Dinner
Mar 5 - Father Daughter Dance - grades 3-7
Apr 24 - Carnival

Action I need from you!
1 - if you want to help with organizing the steak dinner, please drop  
me a note.  I'm going to try to do this entire event without a  
meeting.  I'll task people through e-mail, etc...  We need to start  
acting now!
2 - if you can DONATE stuff to raffle off at the beefsteak, let me  
know.  We need some stuff, good stuff, big stuff, small stuff.   
Tickets.  Wine.  Golf.  Stuff.  The more the merrier.  I NEED TO KNOW  
THE RAFFLE PRIZES BY SEPT 30 SO WE CAN START ADVERTISING THE RAFFLE!   
So that means YOU need to DONATE NOW!
3 - you can start putting together your tables for the event and  
sending me your reservations.  We are going to keep the basics the  
same as the dinner we had in the spring - $80 a person or $640 for a  
table for 8 with a bottle of wine.
4 - Why mess with a working formula?  PM Amusements and Powell  
Catering are psyched to do this again.  However, each of the last few  
years we've added something new...  Two years ago we added the free  
throw contest (and I bet we all wont lose to a professional athlete  
this time!).  Last year was a March Madness pool (which we clearly  
can't continue in Oct...).  So if you have some ideas for something  
new and different, let me know.

Carnival Update
The Highland Park 5 are leading the group running the Carnival.  I'll  
send the names of people who stepped up to say you'd help with the  
potential Oct Carnival to the boys and they'll contact you re:  
organizing the Carnival.  Anyone else who wants to help, please drop  
me a note, and I'll forward it on.  With 8 months vs. 8 weeks, the  
Carnival should rock!

Thanks,
Tom
