Can you spare US$20 for a good cause? Or simply share this message with your friends?
The Rotary E-Club of Global Trekkers are headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. We are only a small E-Club but we are hoping to make this Rotary year another great year of service, supporting our local and international community.
Rotary clubs value service, and we spend time doing valuable voluntary work. But other aspects of service require money.
Our E-club are in the midst of our club’s major fundraiser, a Simple Raffle. Our three cash prizes are $400, $200 and $100. Tickets are $20 each.
We only had 350 tickets printed but we expect fewer than 250 will be sold, so the odds of winning are pretty good. More importantly than the odds of winning are the projects this fundraiser supports:
* Provision of dictionaries, thesauruses and other supplies to 6th grade classes at Southeastern Stokes Middle School
* Physical and fiscal aid to 3 food pantries (two in Stokes County, one in Rockingham County)
* Scholarships to the “most improved graduating senior” at 2 Stokes County high schools
* A project done in collaboration with the Winston-Salem Symphony Orchestra and the Stokes County Arts Council to provide an introduction to music and musical instruments to some 800+ Stokes County elementary school students
* Support for an “Art For Aging And Palliative Care Patients” in Trinidad & Tobago
* Sponsorship of an awards program for Australian children (in Australia) who have performed heroic acts
Even if you are not one of the three lucky winners in the Simple Raffle draw, you still will be a winner because of your support for these projects! Can we count on you to purchase a bunch of tickets?
