handling the volunteers and the tickets
were equal challenges.
“The weekend of the event, you just
hope people will show up. These are
all volunteers andmaking sure that you
have the right number of people at the
right places is a challenge.” Muma said
the parent coordinators who work with
the student volunteer are always
invaluable. Muma noted that the
Rotary Club donates funds to the volun-
teer groups the students represent as a
token of appreciation for their help.
Accounting for the ticket sales, too,
presents a challenge, he said. “We give
every Rotarian 25 tickets to sell and we
also sell them in the two ticket booths
called the doghouses. Keeping track of
who sold how many takes some
detailed recordkeeping,” he said. “It is
time consuming.”
Mumawas careful to explain that all
the profits from the barbeque go to the
Rotary Foundation and that from there
the funds are primarily used for schol-
arships for local students, to both voca-
tional schools and colleges.
Muma, an attorney in private prac-
tice in downtown Plymouth, said the
entire barbeque is a pretty remarkable
accomplishment.
The barbeque menu this year is
unchanged, he said, and will include a
half chicken, corn on the cob, a roll,
chips, a cookie and a beverage. Tickets
for the meals are $12 if purchased in
advance fromany Rotary Clubmember
or at one of the ticket booths on Main
Street.
If purchased on Sunday, the dinner
tickets are $14. They can be purchased
in front of The Gathering or at West
Middle School at Sheldon Road and
Ann Arbor Trail, where carryout serv-
ice is handled. Dinners are available
from11 a.m. until sold out.
