We are so close to the end of October, that we will look ahead to November and a focus on the asset category of empowerment.
This asset category contains assets seven through 10 and include; community values youth, youth as resources, service to others and safety.
The assets program was disappointed when our Night in Italy event was forced to cancel, due to low-ticket sales.
Perhaps it was timing, perhaps it was cost or perhaps there were too many events on the calendar.
What I do know is that 100 percent of time was donated to make the effort a go. The assets program didn’t spend a penny in cost to attempt this fundraiser.
Our thanks to local caterer Jarda Belmonte, who had the gumption to try something new to benefit youth development programs in our community.
On a positive note, our Smith’s Change For Change collection earned our program $175.75 in donations and for that, I thank you.
Our reason for fundraising is to at least make an attempt at sustainability. This is a part- time program and with additional funds, we could do so much more.
The second reason is that we started the year with a $5,000 reduction in budget and must always anticipate that to happen in consecutive years.
