Strawberry Shortcakes Sale - February 14, 2010
Chair: Ron Brookes
Expected Revenue: $12,000

This committee of 10 members organises the promotion, sale and delivery of individually boxed servings of strawberry shortcake for Valentines Day. The cakes are made for us by The Calgary Co-op and sell for $6 each. A minimum order of 6 cakes is required for free delivery. Orders are taken by TigerTel who provides 24/7 telephone answering and fax service. Stampede Messenger organises deliveries to match the number of volunteer driver teams and provides a refrigerated truck for transport and storage of the cakes before delivery. Centre Street Church provides space for volunteers to pick up the product on delivery day ( February 12 this year). Full participation of the club membership is required to promote, sell and deliver the product.

Stampede Breakfast - July 2, 2010
Chair: Helen King
Expected Revenue: $13,000

This committee of 6 people organizes and promotes the sale of tickets for a Stampede breakfast and bleacher seats. The seats are on 9th Avenue and are rented from the city. Rotarian volunteers cook and serve the breakfast and supervise the seating to insure that everyone has a seat. This event requires the full participation of the club to make it a success.

Casino - 3rd Quarter 2010
Chair: Orlin McMillan
Expected Revenue: $75,000

This committee (no members yet) provides the volunteers to fill the positions required by the gaming commission to staff a 2 day charity casino.

When compared to Stampede Breakfast and Strawberry Shortcakes less than full member participation is required.
