Good morning Members,
The PLYC summer event schedule has been posted to our website. Coming up fast is our annual kickoff party. Please see the link to the invitation to get signed up: https://pointlookoutyc.com/member-resources/
Details about each event will be made available at member meetings, as well as being posted on the website shortly before each event under the “Race info” heading.
Our treasured Toy Lending Center does amazing work providing direction and activities to severely handicapped children. Almost as importantly, Coleen provides some relief to the parents whose lives have become dedicated to their children’s care, sadly a task from which there is no vacation.
Our donations are almost a requirement of the TLC’’s existence. To qualify for grant money, the TLC must demonstrate their ability to raise money on their own. This is a prime reason why our fund drive is so important. What’s more, unlike fund-rasing companies that charge as much as 80% of the funds they collect, 100% percent of the money we collect goes directly to the Toy Lending Center. In addition, you should know that they gladly accept working, hand-held electronic toys. These toys are entertaining while being more easily manipulated by children with limited dexterity.
This year, I would like to up the anti a little. First, if you know of a business that might like to advertise on our website for the season (including a link to their site) we can do it for a significant donation. I also plan to provide a link to PayPal, specifically for donating to the TLC. And, of course we will have our annual raffle at the Buoy Bar. Keep in mind, web traffic is a determinant of the website’s value. It is important that you visit often and post interesting information and your comments to drive more traffic.
I would like our like to set our season goal to $7,500. This is only a little more than we have collected in the recent past, and I don’t mind if we blow away the number!
Thank you for support.
Let’s look forward to a safe and enjoyable season.
Sincerely,
~Rob
