Kentucky Derby Auction and Party

Manchester-Essex Rotary Club's major fund raiser takes place Saturday, May 6, 5-8:30pm at the American Legion Hall, behind Manchester's Town Hall. We will air the Kentucky Derby live. There will be music, dinner, wine tasting, cash bar and a live auction hosted by Senator Bruce Tarr. Available items include, sports & event tickets,, “instant wine cellar,” amazing artwork by local Cape Ann artists, many gift baskets and bundles, gift certificates to North Shore restaurants, etc. It is a lot of fun and tickets are $25.00 each. All the proceeds go to the Rotary fund which supports local efforts including scholarships for deserving Manchester and Essex students (last year we gave away $10K, which was raised at this auction), programs at the local schools, Gloucester Open Door food pantry, local community service projects in Essex and Manchester. Put on your best derby hat, there will be a prize for best lady's hat and best gent's hat. Have a good time for a great cause.
