Rotary's 8th Annual Mayor's Charity Gala is coming soon: Sat. Feb. 23rd.... This year, the Gala will support McNally Hospice as well as other Rotary projects. The Gala is fast approaching and we are in need of volunteers to pick up silent auction donation items and recruit new businesses as sponsors. Please contact Stephanie and let her know if you are able to be a sponsor or have a contact who may become a sponsor for this event; also let her know if you would like her to let you know the names of businesses which require followup regarding sponsorship. There is also a need for volunteers to schedule time to assist with picking up sponsorship and silent auction items. Each Rotarian is also asked to contribute wine to our wine raffle, which is a great fundraiser. You may also consider donating a silent auction item or putting a business card ad in the newspaper to help pay for the Gala advertisement.  Volunteers will also be needed the day of the event.  This is a huge event, and without a lot of other club fundraising events, it is essential that we pull together to make it a success.
