Washington Rotary Raffle

The Washington Rotary Club shared holiday cheer for the holidays of 2018! Gift Cards, in the amount of $4,000, were distributed to help during these holidays. It is a way of helping out the elderly of our community and bringing them Christmas cheer. In addition, Gift Cards were distributed to some of the home bound that were not present. Jeff Strunk started this program several years ago, and we are continuing these efforts with the same spirit of giving and sharing . Dave Werkheiser was shown here as the DJ for this celebration. Tammy, Carole, DJ, and Gary (Santa Claus) were instrumental in the continued success of this program. We wish you all a happy and safe holiday season!
Read below what the grateful recipients of these gift cards had to say.
"It was a real surprise and so unexpected. I thank you all for your kindness."
"Rotary Members, Our hearts are uplifted by your kindness. Thank you for the gift cards to ShopRite. Very much appreciated."
"Just to let you know how wonderful you made our Christmas party at the Senior Center."
