Past President David Sargent, presiding over the meeting in the absence of President Dan Gott and Immediate Past President Adam Marshall, praised Gary Clarke for his outstanding leadership and dedication in organizing the club’s two recent fundraisers: the beer and wine booth during the El Dorado County Fair and Rotaryville at the Summer Spectacular at Cameron Park Lake.
Gary then provided a financial update. The beer and wine booth generated $2,952 more in revenue than last year. However, due to increased expenses, the club’s net profit was just $734 higher than the previous year, totaling $12,684.
At Rotaryville, the club’s net profit increased by $2,455 over last year, for a total net profit of $3,069.
Combined, the two fundraisers generated a total net profit of $15,753 for the club.
Gary concluded by thanking everyone who volunteered to make both events such a success. Rather than holding a formal debriefing, he asked volunteers to email him with suggestions and recommendations to help improve next year’s fundraisers.
