THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE 2010 FUNDRAISER ENDED ON APRIL 30 
 RESULTS WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS


What:
The club raises funds when a player contributes $20 to play the game.  In short, the $20 lets the player "purchase" a fictitious portfolio of five stocks from a list of selected stocks.  The portfolio is worth $10,000 at the start.  At the end of one month and at the end of the second month, prizes are awarded for various levels of achievement.
When: 
The contest will begin in March 2010 and ends at the end of April 2010.  The postmark for entries is yet to be determined.  Club members start selling entries in late January and previous players will receive a brochure in the mail around the same time.
How do I get involved: 
Click here for the SMC brochure to enter (2009 version).  The 2010 version will be available in January 2010.  To get on the mailing list for next year, email Dennis Lane   

Planning meeting for SMC 2010 is Wednesday, January 20, 2010 @ Future Home, time TBD; email Dennis Lane for more details.

 

The monies raised support activities for the Greater Jacksonville Optimist Club, which include Youth Activities and Community Activities.  See our Fact Sheet for more of what we do.

 

Stay tuned...
