Bowie Rotarians make changes to fundraisers
Submitted by
Bowie Rotary Club
While the public health, public policy and businesses are working to respond to the impact of the COVID-19, so too must the professional members of the Bowie Rotary Club.
Following a conference call this past week, the board of directors made the decision to postpone the annual drawing of the prize auto due to the lack of human interaction and respect for the buyers who support our scholarship fund each year.
As most are aware, this fundraiser funds the majority of our annual scholastic scholarship program.
This year is not like any other and therefore the club members find themselves in unchartered waters and among numerous of those who need and will continue to need our financial support more than ever before; therefore this is the reason we want to continue to support our scholarship funds by extending the give-a-way date.

Post-pandemic world changes all marketing

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
