Lynwood Rotary Meeting Update 06.30.2016

 

Ms. Lucy provided the lunch for all the volunteers, consisting of Rotary members, and Youth act members and some of their parents.

 

Unpacking the product and placing it on the shelves and counters is a time consuming task. The entire product has to be labeled with a price, to include sales tax.  The work started around 11 am and was not completed until around 5pm.  Based on experience from sales in previous years, the product needs to be organized in an easy way to see, both for the potential buyers, and for the sales staff.

 

On Saturday, July 2, Youth act members and their parents organized a potluck lunch.  Then on Monday, July 4, Ms. Lucy provided in the afternoon a major lunch that included BBQ food.  (July 3 and July 4 are always the two days with the largest sales.)

 

This year's fireworks stand was definitely an organizational success, in terms of how the sales were conducted, and all the expert help provided by Rotary members, Youth act parents and Youth act members. 

As to the how successful the fireworks stand was in terms of income raised for the club, that will require about a week or longer for that information to be confirmed. 

 

In addition to income generated for the club, it has to be said that the sense of team work and camaraderie of everyone present, both adults and youth, is also a strong benefit, in setting a precedent of everyone working together.
