Fund Raiser Ticket Sales Go Well; 

Items Added to Silent Auction

The Beach Party fund raiser Feb. 26 is fast approaching and ticket sales are going well.

Jonathan Sink reports, “We have 152 tickets in the hands of Rotarians to sell.  We are hoping to sell all of them and even get up into the 200 ticket range, but need everyone's support in order to accomplish this goal.  

“We have just over one week to sell tickets.  Thank you to everyone who has donated items and bought tickets.  Please note that you can have your ticket price billed to your Rotary dues as well.”  If you make a donation to Dilworth Charities in lieu of purchasing tickets, your donation is tax deductible under the federal tax code.

If all 152 tickets are sold, all the money from the silent auction will be profit that goes to Dilworth Charities.  If 200 tickets are sold the money from 45 of those tickets will be profit that goes to Dilworth Charities. 

Items available in the silent auction range from various professional services, to antiques, dinners, gift certificates, trips and use of vacation homes.
