2008 Chili Day:
Our Chili Day was a success with $2800.00 in
earnings this year. And the RCHS Key Club enjoyed a banner year in
sales of their baked goods, as well as income from the 50-50 raffle.
However we have seen a steady decline in advanced ticket sales over the
past few years. From 2007 to 2008 it was a decline of 12%. Total ticket
sales for this event was 666, amounting to an average of 10 tickets per
member. And 40% were sold by 5 members.
If each member committed to sell 15 tickets (only 5 more than this
year's average) we'd have an even greater overall success. So, let's
all resolve to kick in and support our upcoming Pancake Day with a
renewed effort on advanced ticket sales.

We want to thank Focus House for their helping to clean
up the tables again this year. Their help is greatly appreciated.
