Casino Night selects Compeition Team Leaders

(REDONDO BEACH) Dec. 4, 2013  --  At today's luncheon, president-elect Rolando Andrade led a discussion about the upcoming club Casino Night, March 1, 2014.  "The theme for the club's major fund-raiser of the year is Casablanca. We need everyone to support and participate in the project," he said.  As president-elect, Rolando is responsible for overall management of the event.

Members were asked to sit at tables numbered 1 through 6 representing the several areas of responsibility Rolando established to organize the event.  Members were tasked with selecting one individual at the table to serve as the Competition Team Leader for that group of Rotarians, and select a team name.  The team names and Competition Team Leaders are:

The target for each team are to bring at least 40 people to the event, bring in at least $7,000 worth of total revenue in tickets, corporate sponsorships, and auction items, and to create Rotary fellowship and have fun, said Rolando. The Competition Team Leader's job is to motivate team members to sell tickets and sponsorships, and rustle up auction items.  The team that generates the most revenue will be recognized at an evening of fun, fellowship, with drink and food provided.  Other team members will appetizers, deserts or a bottle of wine to toast the winning team.

He then asked each of the seven Casino Night division chairs to briefly describe their area of responsibility:  Steve Scerra is responsible for coordinating the fund-raising activities of the six club teams; Chuck Anderson said he is handling all sponsorships for the Casino Night; Colette Paul is promotion chair; Larry Hashimoto is in charge of tickets; Laura Fields will once again handle the silent auction; Scott Fellows is in charge of food ("Yes, it will be Moroccan," he said. After all, Scott is a professional caterer.);  and Chantel King is in charge of decor. "The colors will be white, black, blue and gold," she said, "and I want to show the movie Casablanca repeatedly during Casino Night."
