Ed Coulter is once again head up our Grocery Grab Fundraiser on April 13, Mission HyVee.

Bring your tickets and money this week!  On 4/9, we'll have a Social at The Bar in Mission at which finalists are selected.

If this is new to you, we each sell tickets with names on them. When the finalists are selected, they have 5 minutes to run through the store and collect a cart of groceries.

Ed Coulter is handing out tickets to each rotarian. The goal is to sell those and more!  One idea is to sell to a colleague or friend or neighbor and have them donate it back to heighten chances of a given charity.
