Lobster Ghost on-line auction will happen October 14-23. This is the Lobster Fest that Sunrise club has done for several years. They moved to this model because of COVID-19, but now all District Rotary clubs get to participate! Our club has already signed up. Our job is to provide auction items by Sept 20th, and for any item that our club provides, we get 50% of the price. If one of our members buys the item, we get 100% of the proceeds! How cool is that! This should be a great fundraiser. You can read more details at https://lobsterfest5400.org/.
Our board voted to allocate up to $2000 for items, and here's where it's going. The item is following by the name of the Rotarian coordinating it.
