This is a follow-up to my post in Jerry Hall's "$600 Shop" thread, to avoid clogging up Jerry's thread off the subject.

Attached is a pdf of the table of contents of the local civic club program that I mentioned. In 2009 there were about 125 different sessions scheduled from Feb.into May. The booklet is published and distributed in early January and various civic club members take phone reservations and collect "session fees" (in advance). Am told that the 2009 program raised about $30,000 for local charitable organizations, which I thought was pretty good for our little community.

If others might be interested in a similar program for your community please pm me and will try to help. My wife is a former board member of the local civic club and can point us toward the right person(s) to contact for details.
