Rotary Auction Item



The Haverhill Rotary Auction is shaping up with some interesting items for everyone to bid on. Rotarians are asked to bring in their items this week. Remember this is our major fund raiser. Your help is needed and appreciated. The TV Auction is Wednesday April 18th on local cable station 22 and the live auction and dinner is Friday evening 8:00PM April 20th at The Haverhill Country Club.
Tickets are $30.00 each or $275.00 for a table of 10.
Get your group of big spenders together and reserve your table soon.

What a wonderful warm welcome home I received from everyone at the club on March 1st! Thank you so much for the flowers. I am currently reviewing all the pictures from India and am putting together a presentation to deliver to the club in April. Thank you again for all your support.

As I write this piece, President-Elect, Vince Bonanno is being indoctrinated and learning the "ins" and "outs" of being a Rotary President at PETS. This week marks my official countdown as president. Wow, it's going fast. But, we still have a way to go before we bring a close to this Rotary year. Our biggest fundraiser is less than four weeks away. Already, Rotarians have donated fabulous gifts for the auction ie: African Safari; vacation condo in Florida; River cruise and dinner; Red Sox tickets; golf outings and more! Now is the time to keep those gifts coming. The auction committee will be undertaking the task (and it is quite a task) of assigning each item a placement at either the TV auction or the LIVE Event at the country club. Thank you to all who are working so hard to make the auction possible!

Until next time,
Darlene
