Our speaker this week was Rotarian Glenna Gillen from the Rotary Club of Kelowna Capri. She updated us on how they are doing with their fundraiser - selling bottles with lights in them, decorated for different occasions. There best sellers are Valentine's and Easter. In the past two years they have raised over $15,000 with this project. They sell them once a month at the local hospital and Glenna explained that you need to "tell a story" about where the money raised goes. They increased their sales by offering both Visa and Debit. They only buy the lights - they have arranged for the rest to be donated (bottles, bags, wrapping paper). It is a lot of hard work but it has definitely paid off! Michael won the draw for a limited edition bottle light!Rotary Lights in a Bottle
