Rotary Foundation Gala

DISTRICT 7870

2018 ROTARY FOUNDATION GALAS

There will be two regional Rotary Foundation Galas:

• Thursday, November 8, 2018 at the American Legion Post 67, 3 Depot Street, Chester, VT
• Thursday, November 15, 2018 at the Courtyard Marriott Event Center in Nashua, NH

The Rotary Foundation Galas will take place from 6pm to 9pm.   

The Foundation Galas will have food stations and there will also be a cash bar.  During the Galas, Rotarians and Non – Rotarians will be encouraged to network with each other, view the displays, and enjoy musical performances and presentations. The Foundation Rotary Galas will showcase many of the Rotary Foundation Projects that our District is engaged in.  It is also an opportunity to learn about Rotary and the Foundation, as well as, using this event as a means of encouraging non-Rotarians to consider becoming members. 

There will be a formal program at each Gala with featured speakers on Foundation activities.  These speakers will be of outstanding quality. The formal program will begin at 7:00.    In addition to the Featured Speaker, there will also be several brief presentations by Rotary Clubs from our District that are sponsoring Foundation Projects and would be interested in other Clubs participating in the projects.

The cost is $30.00 per person for Rotarians and their Spouses.  Every Rotarian is encouraged to bring a friend, who could be a Prospective New Member, for free.  Tickets will be pre-sold to provide an indication of the anticipated attendance.  Please purchase your tickets on the District Website using credit or debit card.  Or mailing a check to Alan Kenegsberg, 9 Old Coach Road, Bow NH 03304.   

As the ticket pricing indicates, we would encourage you to invite a non-Rotarian to the Gala so that they may consider becoming a new member, as it will be a great way to introduce them to Rotary. 

Each Event Ticket will include one raffle ticket and the chance to win some excellent raffle prizes.  Additional tickets will be available for purchase for $5 each or 3 for $10.  Raffle tickets will be drawn – with replacement – in other words if your number is drawn and you win a prize – your number goes back into the drum – and in theory you could win every prize if you were so lucky. 

In advance of the Galas, the Club Presidents for 2018-2019, will be asked to commit to the following:

· Promote attendance at one of the Galas

· Provide a raffle prize equal in value to $25 or $1 dollar per club member whichever is greater

· Provide 3 to 5 pictures via email of club event(s)     

 for the purpose of being included in a power point presentation

We hope to see you all at the Rotary Foundation Galas.
