Students plan rock-a-thon and spaghetti dinner fundraisers; representative offers help
Summary
Students described a rock-a-thon and spaghetti-dinner fundraiser to support their chapter; they aim to recruit roughly 50 rockers and expect at least $5,000 from rockers, while Representative Baldacci offered to help with a spaghetti dinner and publicity.
Students at the career-association meeting described two upcoming fundraisers and asked for help coordinating and promoting them. One group said they plan to hold a rock-a-thon in May in the statehouse court and try to recruit about 50 participants; they projected at least $5,000 in contributions from participating rockers.
A separate fundraising idea, a spaghetti dinner that has drawn about 350 attendees in a prior event, was also discussed. Students proposed a late-March date (the transcript records the students’ phrasing as 'the 20 eighth'); Representative Baldacci offered to help organize a dinner, advised they advertise the event widely and asked them to follow up with his office with specific numbers and timing.
Students and presenters described how they plan and track tasks—planning began in January and the group uses weekly sheets to allocate responsibilities. The students said their chapter documents thousands of hours of community service annually across the state; the presenter noted the rock-a-thon model has spread to multiple chapters.
Representative Baldacci volunteered to coordinate with school organizers and local partners and asked students to provide logistics and timing so his office can assist. No formal funding decisions or commitments beyond offering help and follow-up were recorded.
