Anniversaries

Spouses’ night dinner was held at the Monte Carlo Restaurant.  The venue had to be changed because of a scheduling conflict by the RBYC.

President Elect Alan Pailing prepared a report on the 2001 Children’s Fair, which was handed out to members.  The report noted that there had been a lot of feedback, most of which was positive.   The following are extracts from the report.

The Continental Society congratulated the club and asked for help with their June children’s fair.  This request was declined on behalf of the club but advice and contacts were offered.  The Bank of Bermuda has also asked for the club to run game stalls at their annual staff summer party.  The Bank is willing to donate $2000 to any PRC charity.

People could not believe there was no admission fee, this was a tremendous idea, that was great PR for the club.

Prizes:  Inflatable prizes are preferred by parents and children to the stuffed toys.  They eliminated the danger of aggravating asthma and are more attractive.

Small prizes be the responsibility of the stall managers and given out at the individual stalls and not at the Prize Stall.

Fair:  It has been agreed that we will do whatever it takes to ensure that every child walks away with a prize.

Posters and Flyers:  Exposure in the Royal Gazette and Bermuda Sun is sufficient.  Posters are not needed in bulk and money can be save on printing costs.

Manpower:  The Fair runs from Thursday to Monday, all PRC members should make themselves available.  It should be a requirement of the beneficiary to provide adult volunteer manpower.  In future we can provide them with a blank list to be completed with volunteer names.  This way the PRC is aware of whom to expect.

Thank You letter was published in the Royal Gazette the following Saturday.  Letters have been printed and ready to go to the financial donors.
