-raffle- June offered to set up publicity and buy tickets. Type of raffles discussed:

Janet Perregaux & Sue Knight to check out places & dates. Possible venues include United Church of Pittsford and Mendon Fire Hall.
June stated that the board is handling a lot of fundraising (i.e. $ for $ match) this year.
3. Gala- date set of 4/28/07. Doris Ludek & Anne Schiro committee chairs. Possible venues discussed include Nazareth Schultz Center or the Pittsford Presbyterian Church. Schultz center would require a caterer and we could prepare our own food at the church. Dady Brothers will be asked to perform. There was discussion about having a silent auction vs. live auction, or possibly a combination of both. Last year the gala raised $4600. Ticket price for gala covers the cost of food & gala costs while the auction raises the money used toward the operating expenses of the chorus.
Questions & Discussion
