SUMMARY:Benefit Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Location: Commonwealth Commerce Center\nDate: October 11\, 2018\nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nThis annual benefit event is crucial to Dahlem’s success because it raises much-needed unrestricted dollars. This means that this money is used to pay our utilities and salaries\, purchase supplies\, and repair infrastructure. Unrestricted funds are the most difficult to raise because foundations\, corporations and businesses focus on projects\, events or specific programs. Therefore\, for our daily operations\, this event is imperative to the financial health of Dahlem. \nWhat can you expect at this event? This is when Dahlem showcases what we’ve accomplished over the last year\, and share what we have planned for the year ahead. We tell our story and express our heartfelt passion for environmental education and outdoor experiences. \nPlease take a moment to consider being a Table Captain and filling a table with eight guests. If eight is too many\, you are welcome to invite even one or two friends to come along – we have room for everyone! Your time and your guests’ will help make Dahlem stronger and continue its mission of providing environmental education and outdoor experiences to the people of south central Michigan. Please contact us for more information about being a table captain or an event sponsor.
