Foundation Calendar Raffle
 
Our Foundation Calendar Raffle begins in July.  Tickets were distributed at our May 5th meeting.  We aim to raise $5000, meaning 500 tickets will be sold.  We ask all Rotarians to sell nine tickets.  To meet our goal, we would need around 12 tickets per Rotarian.  Thank you for being so supportive of our Foundation!  Please return tickets to our June 23rd meeting!
 
We will be having a table on June 3rd from 4 pm-7 pm to sell raffle tickets at the Food Truck Lot, 940 Huntington Ave.  We are looking for 2-3 volunteers for shifts (4-5 pm, 5-6 pm & 6-7 pm).  Please reach out to Jen Allen to sign up. jallen@bgcwra.org   (we will have a makeup day for weather, which will be June 10th)
