Peggy and Brigitte have graciously volunteered to assist with this portion of the evening but a lead person to coordinate all of the details would be appreciated.

 

The committee meets again on Wednesday, March 25 at 6:00 pm at the Applebee's on Green Road. Please remember that we're opening up the committee to friends and family who like to plan parties. So that I can plan for your attendance, please email tamra.ward1@gmail.com

HERE IS A CHANCE TO AUCTION YOUR TALENT!

 

The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North is asking for your participation in our Lost in Space FUNdraising event on Saturday March 28, 2015, and this is your chance to make a difference. This fun-filled evening will feature a silent auction to benefit the various organizations that Rotary supports all year around.

 

 

 

Are you planning to invite guests to this year's FUNdraising dinner/dance? If so, have you made reservations for your group? At this point, we have heard from several members that they intend to bring guests but only 48 dinners have been reserved.  Since planning for 50 and planning for 200 are two entirely different processes, PLEASE take a moment and email Lisa Hudy at lhudy@twmi.rr.com

 

Also, in case you have forgotten, the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North is a service organization and as a member of our club, you have a full service correspondence secretary at your disposal for the next 104 days.

 

We would love to invite your friends, family, business associates, neighbors and those people you met at last year's Comic-Con convention to this year's Lost in Space FUNdraiser on March 28. We have made this very easy.  Just click on this email address tamra.ward1@gmail.com and your clerical assistant will address, stamp and deliver an invitation to the local US Post Office.  It's that simple!

 

We also have a .pdf version of the invitation available to send to your friends.  To request a copy, please click on this email tamra.ward1@gmail.com which is the same address but reprinted here for your convenience because we're helpful that way.

We're all carrying little blue tickets for the annual raffle held in conjunction with YOUR FUNdraiser on March 28th at the Holiday Inn. We have 300 tickets to sell and as of this date, here is our progress:

 

 

You are cordially invited to a very special event honoring the District's newest Major Donor, Bruce Dunbar from the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor West.  The program will take place on Monday, March 23 at 6:15 at the Quarter Bistro in Ann Arbor.  

In addition to the donor presentation, the West Rotarians have also planned a dynamic Foundation presentation that will showcase the application of Foundation grants locally and globally. If you are considering joining the ranks of fellow Rotarians who have made the commitment to become major donors, would like to know more about the opportunity or would like to introduce a friend or family member to the idea, we hope that you will join us for this evening.  For more information, please contact Ann Arbor West President Raj Bazaj at rbazaj@gmail.com.
