For over 4 years, the Rockford Cosmopolitan Club has been able to use our not-for-profit license to host quarterly poker events in coordination with Rockford Charitable Games Association. In a nutshell, the club splits the profits of each poker night with Rockford Charitable Games. This is a win/win for the club. and Rockford Charitable Games. On most poker nights, we average between $1,750 to $2,000 in profits to the club. In order for us to earn those profits, we need 3 shifts of volunteers for 4 hours a piece with 3 people per shift. (9 total people) Our volunteers simply need to run the cashiers desk. NO gambling is required. You are NOT even required to like the game of poker. If you divide $2,000 by 9 people, that means that the club receives over $200 per volunteer that assists on each poker night. ($200/4 hours = over $50/hour per volunteer) Please volunteer for this poker event. |

Your help is needed! The Rockford Cosmopolitan Club sponsors a Food Bank Truck once a year. This is a great opportunity to give back to the people in need in our community. Here is the scoop…
A semi-truck pulls up and we then pull the tables out of the truck to create a perimeter. The truck is loaded with food and essentials. We allocate the items based on the number of people in line and we pass out the food and supplies to the people. There is no cost to volunteer. We are simply looking for about 30-35 people to volunteer about 2.5 hours of their time. The location is the same as the soup kitchen grill out events, which is the parking lot of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 320 S. 5th street next to the White House which is the Soup Kitchen.
Spouses, guests, and teenagers are welcome. It’s a great opportunity to put things into perspective. Last year we gave out 9,000 lbs. of food and assisted 471 families!
However, in order to accomplish this task, we need your help! Click on Sign Up to view available slots and book yourself directly online. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Sam Furman and Bill Giamarese, Event Chair
