On 12/19 Jill Leonard gave an auction update.  Listen HERE to Jill.   We now have 24 of 35 table sponsors.  All game sponsorships are sold! A new thing this year:  a Corn Hole Tournament.   Frank Jorgensen has made some beautiful game boards which will be auctioned.  We have one silent auction sponsor, but need two more.  Speak to anyone on the committee.  We have raised so far about $28K toward our goal of  $120 K. So we need donations.  Auction items need to be submitted before the  Jan 8 deadline for publishing the program. Small things can be bundled.  Reminder - table seats of 10.   The drop-off location for auction items is Health Alliance office (corner of Chelan & 5th), or call Leonard Singhose.   Engage with  our FB page, leave comments.   Listen HERE to Jill.
Prior message from Bill.
Thank you Rotarians for your time, treasure and things! We need more things! Wine (not complaints but quality wine over $20), art, a motorcycle, time in your condo or vacation home, a feast for 6-8-10 or more home cooked or catered, etc. Thanks to each of you for making a difference in our community and around the world! Yours in Rotary service, Bill Murray
