Idea Fair
Support Funds
How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?
Those that look after us, we have to look after them. We did a giving tree for the front line workers in our area. The members and staff participated and we were able to deliver gifts for over 300 front line workers.They brought them to the Club, wrapped or unwrapped we took them in, assorted them and sent them out.
This has been tough on everyone. Around March 2020 when everyones world went upside down. Us the staff at Fiddlers were getting concerned as every station we had turned on or any news channel we watched, we heard/sore people getting furloughed. The members took it upon themselves to come up with a Gofundme page to start a donation for the staff. One particular member took it to his social media and took the initiative to share it with his fellow member friends, and that is how it moved through our membership. We were so grateful, in the middle of the pandemic the staff got a deposit into their account from our Members.
How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
