Community Fundraising Area Update – Phil Taylor

o  Gala raised $2500 - $3000; will present a final CPG at a later date

o  Alive After Five – The Jaycees have been approached by Rocky Top Hospitality to help with manpower at these events for $500 donations per event. We would provide the special ABC permit; Questions were raised on the legality of this project and our tax status; John Welch, Jr. has checked into the ABC laws; Jeff Zabawa mentioned past events when approached for a project like this one. If we have the proper methods in control, then risk will be minimal; this year no coolers of own beer are allowed into the area of these events; Questions on the insurance issue – Raleigh Jaycees co-insured with Rocky Top; Some members feel that $500 is not enough money when they will be making a lot more money from these events; It was questioned on getting sponsorships; Coleman Thompson will be the project chair for this project; would have 5 people to work 5 hours; Since this would be raising money – should this project be run as a Ways and Means instead of under CIF; With the liability issue of serving alcohol – some members would like to see some type of training; Carter Pettibone mentioned another project the Jaycees could get involved in that would be a better opportunity for less liability – Downtown Live; Questions on what type of fines if we serve a minor were raised; Insurance would not cover any of those types of fees – punitive damages would not be covered by insurance and could cause us serious problems; This project would be considered a level 2 project and Jamilyn Cole had concerns with such a new member running this type of project; John Welch, Jr. will do more research and put something together about legal issues; Also mentioned – running this project under CIF would trap the money under CIF but the Chapter could give money to CIF; Chip Bright feels that this should be run as a Ways and Means project since it is more of a fundraising effort; Will possibly have a called board meeting to approve the project; Date of June 1st is the first event; Would like to see a detailed CPG with all policies noted; for insurance reasons only members could participate; Members mentioned they don’t want to be in control of the permit if we are not checking Ids; John Welch, Jr. will follow-up with additional information; Phil Taylor will let Rocky Top know we will not be available for the first event.
