People are participating in charitable events!

In March of 2009, Whippany Rotary had our 3rd biggest fundraiser Beefsteak Dinner), and we were way off the year before. Then, in June, we had our biggest fundraiser, our duck races and were off about 20% compared to the year before. In November, we had our Casino Night, and it was just so well run, and it was great! The year before, we raised about $6,000, and in November we raised about $10,000! We've had our Beefsteak Dinner and were up over last year, though we won't know how much until the board meeting at the end of the month. Tonight, I went to the Gift of Life Gala, and the organizer told me that we had over 100 more people there than we did last year! He expects the proceeds to be up by 20%! Perhaps people are spending their entertainment dollars in ways that a community conscious?
