AKRON MEAT RAFFLE MAKES THE BIG TIME AT NEXT YEAR'S CONFERENCE

Akron Newstead Rotary held our Halloween themed meat raffle to raise money for the community. The night was well attended and we all had a great deal of fun. 

One of the goals of Governor Lisa Bishop is to have a district wide live event consisting of 250 Rotarians from Canada and 250 Rotarians from the US. The US team will meet in Akron and Canadian team will meet in a determined location in Ontario.
Tickets will be sold at each location for MEAT drawings. Each location will have its own 50/50 drawings (2 of them).  The spinning of the wheel will be live streamed from Akron. Creating a fun-filled event where we all will participate and compete as a group from 2 locations to see which side of the boarder can raise more $. The proceeds for this event are to go directly to the district grant.  I believe this one event can raise $20,000.00 for the district.
