2019 Wild Game Cookout
The Plant City Rotary Club held its 45th annual Wild Game Cookout on Friday April 5th.  This is one of our club's major fund raisers for the year.  (The other is the Dancing With The Locals event.)  Residents from Plant City and surrounding areas turned out for an evening of good food, fellowship and music. 
 
In addition there were lots of door prizes, raffles and auction items.  Many area businesses help make this event a huge success by donating items.  The Florida Strawberry Festival also played a large role this year (and for the last several years) by allowing us to hold the event at their facility.  After a few scattered afternoon thunder showers, Mother nature cooperated this year providing great weather. 
 
Of course the event would not be possible without the hard work of our club members.  This event stands up to the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self."  The funds raised at this fundraiser allow us to fund many efforts that give back to the local community.
 
We would like to thank all those that attended.  Without your continued support, our club would not be able to  do many of the things we do to giveback to our community.

Another Wild Game Cookout is history!
Thanks to all who put in so much effort to make Friday's 45th Wild Game Cookout a success.  Without the hard work of all those involved this event would not be possible.  Special shout-out to event chairmen Brian Griffin (who didn't let a bum leg slow him down) and James Surrency.  Special thanks to those who helped with clean up on Saturday.  This event is not only a lot of work but also a lot of fun.  The work we all put in this week allows our club to fund much of our charitable work throughout the year.  Great job Rotarians of putting service above self!

Wild Game Wrap up
It is extremely important that all ticket monies, unsold tickets and receipts for purchases be turned in ASAP.  All should be turned in within 2 weeks.  It is not fair to those in charge of collecting the money, receipts and tickets to drag this out any longer than that.  Also, please do not bring in loose receipts to turn in for reimbursement.  Please provide a cover sheet with the receipt amounts listed, the total of the receipts and also show which committee it is for and who the check should be made out to.  The receipts or a copy of them can be attached to the cover sheet.  The sooner we get all this in, the sooner we will be able to see the bottom line on this year's event.  Thanks in advance for your co-operation!
