 Rock Island Rotary Wine Raffle
Dear Friends of Rock Island Rotary, 
 
It is time for our annual wine raffle.  Proceeds from the raffle support the "Fred Houlton Service Above Self" scholarship at Rocky.  This year, we have made important changes to the raffle.  The prizes, as shown on the poster below, remain the same for the first three winners.  Each of these winners (HOPE IT'S YOU!) has the opportunity to go to the Grape Life in Davenport and personally select your wines.  Our committee selects the wine for prizes four through ten.  Note that the value of these seven prizes is at least double the cost of your raffle ticket.  Only 300 tickets are being sold.  More prizes, fewer stubs to fill out, and a better chance of winning.  Doesn't get any better than that!
 
You may purchase your entry directly from the link below or you can send a check payable to ROCK ISLAND ROTARY (Put wine raffle in memo line) and please make sure your check is in the mail by May 12 and that you've included your phone number and email address so we can contact you.  The drawing is May 24.  We don't want to risk your check not arriving on time.  You can also email rotarianruth@gmail.com or gnrowe47@gmail.com for more information.  
 
Thank you in advance from your Rock Island Rotarians and deserving Rocky scholarship winners for your support!
 
Ruth Lee and Gary Rowe
