Community Fundraising Area Update – Phil Taylor

o  Dunn Chapter Visitation – Phil Taylor recently visited with the Dunn chapter which had a speaker from the NC Jaycee Burn Center – Phil commented that it is good to see what small chapters are doing.

o  Duke Gala Update – The Gala is this Saturday at the Museum of Natural Sciences. We are currently lagging in ticket sales; it will have an impact on financial success of this project; hope to sell some tickets at the door. Right now almost have too many donated items – will have the auction in 3 waves. Encourage ticket sales to Jaycees and friends. Do have some ads going out to several places; problems with the mailing and name of band not selling tickets; there is a link on the band’s website to link with the Jaycee website. Will need help for the event. Peter Ansbacher asked that if you can’t attend then offer some time to help.
