RE: Volunteer to Head Carwash
Dear Fellow Crewsters:
During each of the 3 years which the F- M Crew program has existed the Crewsters have raised money by selling car wash tickets for the Mobil carwash in Fayetteville.
The fundraiser was initiated by Crewsters Founders Club members Andy & Ann Madsen.
The ticket were sold in both the fall & the spring of each year. The tickets were sold for $5.00 and the Crewsters were able to keep $4.00 which yielded a profit of $2,000+/- each fall and another like sum in the spring. The $4,000+/- profit was paid into the Crewsters general account and used to defray operating expenses assumed by the Crewsters.
If the Crewsters are going to have the carwash again this fall we need to get moving quickly. If anyone desires to Chair or Co- Chair this fundraiser then they should contact me by telephone or e-mail before Thursday September 15th.
On an unrelated matter there will be a general Crewster meeting held sometime next month. I will notify you later of the date, time and place. At that meeting we will discuss developments since our last meeting. I will also appoint a Nominating Committee to propose a slate of new officers for the coming season. From conversations I have had I expect many of last years officers to decline re-nomination which will make it important that new people step forward.
Collectively we, the members of the Crewsters, should be proud of the accomplishments which the F- M Crewsters over the past 3 seasons. People should understand that the fact that there even is a crew program is attributable to hard work of a number of Crewster families. During the past 3 seasons some senior administrators at the F- M High School have expressed a belief that Crew was a fad that would fade at F- M High School over time. I believe that with your continued support the sport of rowing will continue to grow at F- M High School and benefit its students. Thank you for your continues assistance and cooperation.
Best wishes.
