  • The District Food Drive is April 1 - August 19.  Bring your non perishable items to the meeting each week.
April 28-30
Amy will give each member 5 tickets to sell next week.  Members can also sign up next week to work the following times at Belk selling tickets:  
  • April 28 and 29   3:00-5:00pm and 5:00-7:00pm
  • April 30  6:00-8:00am  and 8:00-10:00am 
To add a little excitement, we will have a team competition.

**More teams will be added next week as needed

Each team will work together to sell all of their 5 tickets.  Team members will also receive credit for the tickets sold if they work a shift at Belk.  Teams will lose points for tickets they do not sell, and will have to feed the pig $2 to explain to the club the reason for not selling them. (humorous or real)
The winning team will be kings/queens for the day and the losing team will be their servants during the meeting.  Dawn may also throw in a gift card for team members to sweeten the deal!
