Rotary Shines - April 19th

Rotary Shines will be held on Friday, April 19 from 6:00-10:00 p.m. at the OuterEdge in Appleton.  The cost is $100 which admits two adults.  This is our club’s one and only fundraising event.  Tickets will be sold next week.  As part of Rotary Shines, the committee is offering a presale of chocolates from Wilmar’s to pick up on March 26 in time for Easter.  For every 5 boxes sold, a $50 gift card to Avenue Jewelry will be given away. 

At the event, there will be a reverse raffle, silent auction and live auction.  The people who have the numbers of the last 5 tickets will decide if they want to go for the grand prize or split it.  So far, the live auction will have two trips to Africa, 2 MetJet round trip tickets to Fort Myers or Orlando and a custom built brick fire pit donated by Oberstadt Landscaping.  There will be live music by the Neenah Jazz ensemble.  Heavy hors d'oeuvres will be provided by Fox Banquets and Rivertyme Catering.  If you would like to donate something for the silent auction, please contact Ruth Ann Heeter at raheeter@foxcitiesmagazine.com

The committee has set a goal of raising $11,000 in sponsorships.  If you are interested in sponsoring this event, please contact Chad Hershner at chershner@chw.org. 

It is an evening of fun, fellowship and will benefit the Fox Valley Memory Project and clean water projects for school children in Gangavathi, India and Burundi, Africa, and Polio Plus.
