Message from the President
Dear Members,
I am writing to ask all of those who did not receive an email to renew your dues to let me know and for those of you who did receive the email please send in your dues as soon as you can. we also need help in the Fireworks booth and we have a deal that will allow all of you to help even if you can't actually work in the booth. As you all know we did not have a good year last year and if we have another year like that we will have to do something else to raise the needed funds. Remember that this money pays for the all of the copies, snacks, web site, phone book ad, plus much more. Here is the deal if you can't work in the booth for 4 hours we would like for you to commit to selling just 10 tickets to your families. This is worth 100.00 for each provider and we will give your families a free entry into our large fireworks give-away as well as no tax on their purchase. Hopefully all of you will participate in one form or another. Thanks so much for your help and support!
Have a great Summer !
Pam Reeder President SFCCA
