Preparing for Murder Mystery Dinner

 

Rotarian Stephanie Friemoth kicked off our march toward our 2016 Murder Mystery Dinner. The theme for this event is, "Total Rad '80s Prom Gone Bad." Our dinner will take place at New Berlin Banquet Center on Saturday, Feb. 6.

 

Friemoth reviewed the list of items we need. They include gifts and gift cards for the raffle and bottles of wine for the wine pull. She encouraged all Rotarians to reach out to local business for donations. The DJ, Scott of Magnum Entertainment, is already signed up. We've used him before, and he's excited about the prom theme for this event.

 

This is one of two fundraisers our club holds during the year. Funds go toward local youth projects, such as World Affair Seminar and the Police Department's Midnight Volleyball program. We raised about $3,600 this year, Friemoth says. Her goal for 2016 is $5,000.

 

If you or your business would like to donate a gift, contact Stephanie Friemoth through the email link at left. Stay tuned to our website. We'll have a lot more details, as well as your chance to buy tickets. We hope you'll be up for an '80s-style prom event on Feb. 6!

Also during our Nov. 18 meeting, Rotarian Dianne Moore informed us that our club "adopted" three families for the Christmas season. We budgeted $290 for this, one of our regular club projects. Moore selected from a list of needy families that had applied at the food pantry. Their requests tend to be for "everyday items," Moore says: winter boots, socks, and so forth.

 

Club members will purchase the items in the coming days. The wrapped gifts will be delivered to the food pantry on Dec. 16.
