The only exceptions have been in memory of a long-time member who passed away. Also, I don't think we will break even. Cost of the event so far is $7330 with 106 people signed up bringing in $6360 plus raffle. At a few events, we have collected money for a specific organization (usually for veterans' benefits) but that was kept separate.<br></div><div>Doyle (aka Grinch)</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"David S Wajda" <dswajda@comcast.net><br><b>To: </b>"Board of Directors" <board@portsmouthyc.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, December 5, 2016 3:59:00 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Board-2017] Christmas Gala<br><div><br></div>I received a call from Darleen Chadwick, Gala chairperson, and she had a question regarding any extra money that may be raised at the event. She said that she just needs a couple more people and she will break even with the Wentworth CC. She is hoping to raise additional $500 from the raffle of baskets and to cover the band. She was wondering if there is more money raised rather than go into general fund could we make a donation to Salvation Army or Crossroads at this season of giving. I told her I would run her request by the board. Your thoughts?<br>David<br><div><br></div>Sent from my iPhone<br><div><br></div></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
