Times of sales are 4:00 – 6:00 PM Wednesday to Friday and 9:30 – 11:30 AM on Saturdays. The large commercial ducks will sell for $100.00 if the business has a duck from a previous year and $125.00 for a new duck and business.
The prizes will be $300.00, $200.00 and $100.00
Each member will be responsible to sell $50.00 worth of tickets.
Bob J. suggested giving out cards promoting Rotary while selling the tickets. Fred would like to create a vibe at the Duck Race by adding to the Angry Duck activities, such as selling duck related items.
Fred stressed networking and making connections and, with this in mind, recommended that members accept an invitation by Lisa Fulton, the branch manager of Eastern Bank to a networking meeting at the Marshfield Country Club on May 24. Our membership in the Duxbury Business Association is also a way to network.
Steve, Linda, Fred and Diane, on the theme of networking, attended the Plymouth Habitat for Humanity dinner. They heard a veteran who served in Afghanistan who spoke of the difficulties that are faced by returning service men and women.
Bob J. spoke for his scholarship committee about the 45 applications for scholarships received from Duxbury High School students and of the high quality of their presentations. Many of the students give much of themselves to the community such as helping at food kitchens and working with the disadvantaged.
SCHEDULE: May 17, regular meeting.
FINES/RAFFLE: Bob H. served as the Sgt.-at-Arms and collected fines for Karl’s May birthday and Paul’s granddaughter’s birthdays. Bruce R. has just finished a series of articles for an agricultural alumni magazine. He also traded writing some articles for a beehive. He won $2.00 in the raffle.
