Whiskey Raffle Update
Keep Up the Good Work on Gathering Our Prize Pool!
We are now in the fourth week of
gathering bottles of whiskey and other collectible spirits for the raffle. We’re
on a great pace to make our goal of 30 bottles for 10 to 15 prizes. We still
have a little bit to go. We still need some whiskey!
We’ll take any whiskey—check with
your most pretentious friends who talk solemnly about whiskey as if it’s a
matter of grave import! (By the way, they’re right.)
But if you don’t keep company with
said pretentious friends, let me remind you… We have a bottle registry at Dunwoody Beverage! The full
list is included below. We don’t need all of these… but this is a
hand-picked collection of spirits that we feel would appeal to the whiskey snob enthusiast.
Best of all, Dunwoody Beverage returns 10% of each sale to our Rotary club as a
donation.
We’ll have a full update of our
progress in donations and plan for sales at the first meeting of October. That’s
when we’ll close the prize pool and begin phase 2 of marketing the our raffle
tickets to the general public.
This is how our major
fundraiser for the fall is shaping up:
- Phase 1: prize collection (to be completed by
October 1). we now have 20 of our anticipated 30 - 40 bottles
promised… let’s go!
- Phase 2: sell tickets (goal is to sell all 1,000
tickets by November 15): we’ll be priced at $25/ticket or 5 tickets
for $100. Sales are open now but we will begin marketing in earnest in
October.
- Spread the word! Encourage friends, family,
and colleagues—whiskey enthusiasts are never hard to find (they brag).
Every ticket sold brings us closer to our $25,000 goal. And whiskey might
just be a great way to introduce people to Rotary.
- And Lastly, SAVE THE DATE! Thirsty Thursday,
November 20! We’re targeting that last Thursday before Thanksgiving for
the main event itself.
