Moonstruck! Play a Round in the Dark!
Only 18 more days until Moonstruck! Click here for the Moonstruck brochure.  The non-profit we have selected to benefit from the event is Vision Loss Resources and they are helping us promote and advertise the event.  They will have hands-on demonstration tables at Moonstruck so everyone can learn about the techniques and tools of living with vision loss.  In addition, they have introduced a LIVE auction this year, so make sure you talk up the event as being new, exciting, innovative! We will still have the Dessert auction for desserts at each table and have secured 12 professional desserts at no cost! We are asking each Rotarian to generate $500 for Moonstruck, either through sponsorship, teams or in-kind donations.  Specifically, here's what we need from each Rotarian:
 
  1. Bring A Bottle of Wine!   We are having our wine raffle for 30 bottles of wine + a wine chiller or 2nd place is 10 bottles of wine. Each Rotarian is asked to bring 1 bottle of wine. Raffle tickets available now - see Bob
  2. Bring Beer! We are having a beer raffle for our Wall of Beer so we need 6-packs of craft beer to complete the wall.  Each Rotarian is asked to bring 1 6-pack of craft beer.  Raffle tickets available now - see Bob
  3. Sign up Sponsors!  Hole Sponsors ($200), Silver Sponsors ($500), Gold Sponsors ($1,000), Platinum Sponsors ($2,000) and Presenting Sponsors ($5,000) - there is a VIP Cocktail Hour invitation for Gold, Platinum and Presenting Sponsors
  4. Sign up Teams!  We can support 26 teams
  5. Sign up Guests with Dinner Only ($40)!  We need to fill the tables so the LIVE auction and Raffles will be ridiculously successful
  6. Secure LIVE auction items (i.e. time-share vacations, fishing trips, other cool stuff)
Comedian/auctioneer Chris Shaw will be conducting the LIVE auction.  Here's what we have for LIVE Auction items so far:
  • 4 complimentary One-Day Park Hopper tickets at Disney valued at $620!!
  • A gift certificate for one tandem sky-dive jump at Sky Dive Twin Cities
  • Insert your fabulous prize here!
We will be having a Moonstruck 101 informational training at our regular meeting on Wed. Sept. 7.  You won't want to miss it!  Representatives from Vision Loss Resources will also be there to explain their demonstration stations they will have the night of Moonstruck. If you have any questions about Moonstruck, contact Colleen Watson by clicking on her name.
