Fundraising update.



WORKING BEE DATES
 
Thanks to all those that have responded to being able to assist at the working bee. From the responses the date and time will be:
 
SUNDAY, 24 AUGUST - 8AM - 12PM
 
QUEST NEWSPAPER GRANT - UNSUCCESSFUL
 
Thanks to everyone who voted in the Quest Community Grants. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful in our bid to secure $1000 towards the front garden project.
 
CAR BOOT SALE POSTER PLACEMENT - PLEASE ASSIST
 
I seek your help in promoting the Car Boot Sale and Car Wash at the Den on 30 August. There are around 60 A4 double sided posters at the den on the front desk. I seek your help in getting these distributed to your work place, school and any local business or high visibility area to get it seen.
 
We can safely house 52 stalls at the den. At $20 a stall it would be $1000 in "no effort" fundraising. Add to this the Car Wash, Cake Stall and BBQ and we have a real chance of making some good money on the day.
 
The money raised is going to be put towards a new front entrance for the Hut by opening it up to the play area rather than the small staircase we currently have.
 
With 4 weeks to go, I have to date only 5 stalls booked and I now seek your help in promoting the event.
 
BEENLEIGH SPORTS CLUB RAFFLES
 
To date I have received very little nominations to assist at the Raffles at the Beenleigh Sports Club on 22, 23, 24 August.
 
I need 7 people on Friday 22 - 5:45 to 8pm, 5 people on Sat 23 & Sun 24 5:45pm to 7pm. All we do is sell tickets for the draws at the end of the timeslots.
 
I realise some of you are wanting to bring your youth members along, and restrictions may now not opting to assist. Please remember these raffles are in a place of gambling and under Scouting rules we cannot have youth members in attendance and by law they are not really allowed to sell tickets at the venue due to their age. 
 
If you cannot assist on the nights, please spread the word to friends and family to attend to support the fundraising.
 
These funds will go towards the Hut upgrades to the entrance.


Yours in Scouting,
