HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1985-10-16, Page 15SVS -RECO WgDNESDAY, =COMO Another loss Iff anyone would like to know what it feels like to run into a brick wall time and time again, I'm sure one of the Clinton Recreation Committee members could tell you. Every effort the committee makes to raise funds for recreation projects and programs seems to end in a loss. The latest "fund raiser" - was the NHL Oldtimers vs. the Clinton Selects hockey game. The profits from this event were to be split between the recreation conunittee and the Junior D Mustangs, however, a loss of $913 was taken by the recreation committee. Ticket sales of $1,109 didn't even cover the $2,000 expense of getting the Oldtimers' team. Add that factor to other expenses such as the printing of the tickets, advertising and wages to employees who worked the evening, and you get a discouraged recreation comittee. . At recereationmcommittee's October meeting, members were frustrated and rightfully so. What does the public want? The PRS Rock Video dance failed From the stands , miserably. In this venture, the recreation committee suffered a $500 loss with only 76 people attending the event which cost $6,000 to put on. Could the losses be from lack of publicity? 1 don't think so. The video dances were advertised five weeks prior to the 'actual date and the recreation committee spent $276 on advertising for the NHL Oldtimers game. A week or two ago, a Friends of the Arts night was held at the Clinton Town Hall. Approximately 60 people were invited with only 20 attending. This event didn't lose any By finne Narejko money, but it must have been disappointing for the organizers. So what does the recreation committee have to do? According to former recreation director Kevin'Duguay, programs that are offered have been• requested by the public through .a survey conducted last year. If this is the case, why aren't the people responding? I don't know the answer to that question and neither does the recreation committee. But how much longer can they go on planning, preparing and organizing events only to lose money? Futdraise CLINTON - Another fund raising act ' y here has lost money. The NHL Oldtina rs - Clinton Select hockey game was held 'th the intentions of dividing the profits between the Junior ;D franchise and the recreation department. However, the loss of $913,40 will be absorbed by the recreation committee., , , Committee members don't know what they're doing wrong. "It's frustrating," said Bonnie Jewitt. Dan Colquhoun expressed his feelings, saying, "I couldn't believeit." Members have heard complaints of not ses money enough advertising, "'however, $276 was spent promoting the event and posters were put up around town. A second complaint heard by committee members was that people didn't know where to get tickets and they felt those involved in hockey should have' been asked to sell tickets as well. Despite the reasons, recreation committee is to pay the $913.40 loss. "The thing that is really disappointing is that it was an entertaining game," concluded chairman Ron McKay. Junior boys start off strong The CHSS Junior Boys volleyball team is looking forward to another winning season under the coaching of Mr. Jankowski.
