OUR PROJECTS
There
are a number of projects which the members of the
Noon club are involved during the yearly process of making
money. These seem to be more prevalent during the fall and
early winter months,
making it simpler to avoid the
vacation
times of most members.
SWEET CORN SALE - Spring Project
The
sale of Peaches & Cream sweet corn is a renewed fund raiser
which both
Clubs participated in
some 9 or 10 years ago. This year Life
Member, Paul Rauschke,
offered to supply the corn from his farm
near Mt. Pulaski and the
members sell the corn and split
with the farmer. It is a successful venture since both parties make
money and the members
share the fellowship of working
together on the
project.
PARKING
CARS - Summer Project
The
parking of cars at the our multiple lots has been routine for the
Decatur Celebration for many years. The Decatur
School District allows the use of the lot at N. Water St. and the
George Olive lot across
from the Masonic temple.
Kit-Kat Candy Bars - Fall Project
The
use of the small Kit-Kat candy bars given to shoppers, for a monetary donation has been the 2nd best money making
project
in which the club is involved. The
Noon club has involved
many
merchants, Kroger,
Cubs, K-mart, and Wal-mart
have
been the main supporters of Decatur Noon Club with this
project.
The
last major fund-raiser, the Christmas Poinsettias,
started with the
solicitation of companies to use the flower as
gifts for their
employees at Christmas time. From that evolved the
over all solicitation
to the community for purchase of the
flower as our major
moneymaker for our community service.
