Item 1: Money-Raising Projects
Item 2: Any good organization needs money in order to operate. / The MWC YR’s have therefore established continuous / fund-raising projects all year to supplement the dues from the / club members. Starting the first part of October we received permission from the administration to sell hotdogs in the dorms / every Tuesday night. The YRs cook and sell them within each dorm complete with mustard, relish and ketchup. (With this, we have the / guarantee that no one else will be permitted to sell food in the dorms / that night). This project nets about $40-$50.00 each week. / In addition, money was raised by chartering a bus to a U.Va YR mixer, / (about $50.00). A small sum was raised by selling 50-50 doorprize chances at / the free mixer held at MWC by the YRs. / We were the first and only organization / on campus to sponsor a mixer on campus / and it was a smashing success giving us / much campus-wide publicity. The chances / ere sold with a guarantee that the / winner would receive $25.00 or 50% of / the profits (after expenses) whichever / was greater. We had a profit of $50.00 - / $25. For the club and $25 to the winner. / The money raised by the club has been used primarily for / scholarships and contributions. The club donated $165.00 to / Paige Young’s campaign for the House of Delegates; contributed $50.00 / towards sending a group to the Shenandoah Conference; contributed / to the 8th District Senior Party operating funds and contributed / towards the 8th District LTS scholarship. The club is also / contributing nearly $300.00 towards the expenses of sending a / delegation to the State Convention and will help sponsor the / delegation to the Region III CYR Convention.
