BUILDING COMMUNITIES AUCTION UPDATE
Auction! Auction! Auction!
We have been talking about donating or purchasing tickets. We need the Rotary members and the community to help make the 2019 auction a success. The committee has set a goal of $125,000 net to help build communities in the Wenatchee Valley! Ever wonder what the money raised will be used for? This is a short list of how we will use the proceeds from the Auction 2019.
Lincoln Park BMX Track and 2nd Picnic Shelter
Wenatchee Rotary Foundation (Scholarship Fund)
Rotary Park
Interact Club Service Project
Community Service Committee Grants; past projects include Library, Westside HS, Pybus Foundation, and Chelan County K9 unit
As you can see we do many projects impacting a variety of interests; funds stay in our community.
I encourage you to get involved. Ask Jay Smith and myself how you can help! Gather friends and plan to attend the auction on January 26, 2019. Register or purchase tickets here.

Auction Co-chair
From Doug Button, sponsorship chair.
Our auction fundraiser is fast approaching on January 26, 2019. As members of Wenatchee Rotary we have all agreed to support this auction with the proceeds going to support various local projects. So far we have been able to secure several large donations from local businesses and organizations. We are now in the process of asking for table sponsors. This is where we need your help. Each of you need to consider being a table sponsor or asking your friends and neighbors. Our goal this year is to obtain 35 sponsors at $600.00 each. This also includes two tickets to the auction a $130.00 value. Remember this is your auction and to be successful we need your help and involvement. For more information pertaining to table sponsors and donations contact Garry Sparks, Terry Sorom or myself. Together we can make this our most successful fundraiser ever. See sponsor details.
Notice to Appleseed readers. This section in future editions will reduced in scope to save time and space. Since audio is being provided, program details are available by listening. Any member preferring a complete written summary, may volunteer to be a weekly reporter. This approach was suggested by the Board of Directors in discussion on Nov. 15.
Bell-Ringer Volunteers are needed: Saturday, December 1st.
Did you know… the Salvation Army has served the needy in our community for 110 years!
Just think about that for a moment… that means that this service organization’s work in our community pre-dates the founding of our service club!
Your Wenatchee Rotary has generously supported the work of the Salvation Army for many years and volunteering for the Red Kettle drive is a holiday tradition with our club. Wenatchee Rotary members will be ringing the bell at two locations on Saturday December 1st from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM. We are asking for at least 12 volunteers to each serve a 2-3 hour shift. All that is required is for volunteers to bring your holiday cheer and greet customers coming and going from the store. And, oh yes, ring that bell!
Dick Reed will coordinate the sign-up for Wenatchee Rotary members. Please email Dick directly with your commitment.
Locations:
Safeway - Wenatchee (two doors)
JC Penny – East Door
“Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time. They simply have the heart” - Salvation Army
ROTARY PARK
Rotary Park Activities this week... Picnic shelter progress
End Polio Now/Club 60:
Our ambitious goal has been set by President Pete at $10,000 ($192 per week!).
We continue our 10-year relationship with the Gates Foundation; since 2013, they have matched each dollar with $2 toward polio eradication.
Donations by club members on Nov. 8 = $28.06are added to our share of the Area-9 polio meal of $227 thus bringing our total $1163 or $3489with the Gates match. This equates to 5826 lives saved. Collections at KPQ were $1133. Read about World Polio Day, October 24
For members willing to learn or assist in web site maintenance, Appleseed production, or meeting projection services, the secretary will gladly accept help or relinquish control of these functions.
