Hi _____________,
 
As you probably know, I am an active member of the Rotary Club of Wilmette.  Our Club will be having an annual gala fundraiser on November 6, 2015 at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel in Skokie, from 6:30pm-9:30pm, with an "after party" for dancing until 11:30pm.  This will be an evening to have fun and I think you would enjoy the event.  Prepaid tickets are $75 prepaid ($80 at the door).  See attached invitation.
 
Among the many activities will be gourmet food paired with wines from around the world, live music, a silent and live auction, a 50/50 raffle, a professional dance performance and lesson, and a DJ for dancing after 9:30pm.  You will also have the opportunity to purchase the wines in time for your holiday entertaining and gift-giving. 
 
Let me know if you are interested in coming. You can purchase event tickets, raffle tickets, and/or donate through me, or you can purchase event tickets and donate online starting October 1 through our website, www.wilmetterotary.org .
