As of April 4th, there are only 10 days until the Club's fundraiser/dinner/auction "Raise the Stakes for Community".
We now expect the event to be sold out with 400 guests. Thank you to everyone that bought tickets, tables and sponsorships. It will be great to have every seat filled. If you did not get a ticket purchased but still want to attend, contact Laura Luetje at laura.luetje@ankenylaw.com to see if there may be an opening.
Please encourage your guest(s) to visit our wed site at https://bidpartner.net/rotary/ and register their credit card prior to the night of our event. This will allow them to start bididng on the silent auction items and it will also speed up registration that night.
