The Paddle the Albert River BBQ Fundraiser


The Paddle the Albert River BBQ Fundraiser
The Logan City Council is promoting a Paddle on the Albert River as a free activity. The group has been offered to run the BBQ, turn up and cook only supply nothing. We will run the BBQ from around 10 am to 11:15 am.  The group is being offered a donation for this.
 
At this time I am unsure where this will take place and will inform once I know more.
 
If you can assist at the BBQ, can you please advise so I can coordinate. I will need to know before 18 September as I head to Cuboree on 19 September and will not return until 27 September - where the much needed AFL Grand Final resting afternoon awaits me :) 
 
CANOEING 
  
The activity attached to the fundraiser is open to the general public to attend, they have 30 canoes and I have been asked to find out if families would be interested in attending the canoe event.  
 
This activity will not be a Scouting one so no forms will be required, but if you are attending just register you are attending so I can advise Logan City Council of potential numbers.
 
You will also be able to take your own canoes and kayaks if you have them, again please advise if you intend to do this. 
 
Date: 28 September, 2014
Time:  9am - 11am.


Are you attending? Yes I am attending. No, I cannot attend.

Weekend Raffles update



Good morning,
 
I am writing to inform you all of the amazing efforts from the Beenleigh Sports Club Raffles over the weekend. Earnings for the events were:
  • Friday:       $886.60
  • Saturday:   $436
  • Sunday:     $400
This comes to a total of $1722.60. This figure is not 100% final but the numbers pulled out of the ticketing machine after each raffle night. It will not be too far off this if adjustments happen. This will help, in a long way, for funding Hut maintenance and upgrades.
 
I would personally like to thank; Karen, Vanessa, Eleni, Christine, Tanya, Lisa, Pauline, Tracy,  Rachel, & Jeannine, plus two ring ins - Daniel & Shane for giving up the couple of hours each night to assist myself in raising the funds. It was a lot of fun, and excellent return for minimal effort. 
 
If next time you are thinking of heading out for dinner please think of the Sports Club - the food was awesome and great value as was the entertainment. 
  
We get another chance on 22 November at the Beenleigh Sports Club - five people will be required. Please nominate if you can assist via the link below. 
 
After a great weekend of fundraising bring on the Car Boot Sale and Chocolate Drive round two to help cover the funds for these upgrades. 
 
 


Are you attending? Yes I am attending. No, I cannot attend.

Fundraising update - Seeking final numbers



Thank you to everyone who have nominated to assist in the Beenleigh Sports Club Raffles and Car Boot Sale/Car Wash so far.
 
+++ Raffles helper numbers urgently needed +++ 
 
I am please to advise my required numbers for Saturday, August 23 Raffle have been completed. I do require two more for Friday night ( 22/8 - 5:30pm to 8pm) and 2 more for Sunday night (24/8 - 5:30pm to 7pm). If you can spare a hand on these nights I would be very grateful for the help. 
 
Please email me asap if you can spare the few hours - we have the potential to take home $2000 for the weekend. It will all be going to changes around the grounds and Hut. 
 
Car Boot Sale/Car Wash - 30 August. 
 
Due to an accidental deletion I require you to  all register your intent in assisting at the Car Boot Sale. Due to my absense at the den I will require it to be registered online this time.
 
We are now two weeks out from the Car Boot Sale and Car Wash. I have started to see the C3/C4 being returned. If you are available to help on the day if would be great as we need people for the BBQ, Cake Stall and Car Wash (few more Adults).
 
I would like to thank everyone who has nominated to help setup. At this stage we are looking at a 6am start, but this maybe earlier if I get more stalls in the coming fortnight. At this time I have 10 stalls confirmed. Setup will also be helping set up BBQ and Cake Stall stand. 
 
By the end of next week I will send out another update to advise on numbers for the day so I can coordinate numbers at times during the morning.
 
Next week there will be more letterbox drop flyers to hand out. Yes, this time I printed the correct ones - 1000 flyers to be dropped - with thanks to Mike Latter MP office for printing these up.Please help promote this event. If you can take a poster to work or some of the Beenleigh businesses it would be a big help too.
 
Cake Stall - Bakers at the Ready! 
 
Our Cake Stall was a big hit last time and we are doing it again. Calling all our bakers - please get cracking and mix up a storm of muffin, cakes and biscuits for the our efforts. Just remember to note if for Gluten Free, Nut free, Preservative Free. Also you will need to list all ingredients used.
 
 
Thank you everyone for the support I really hope we get a really good turn out for this.
