A HOT NIGHT INDEED!

How do you make $24000 in one night? Well it is simple to state. You put together an outstanding group of committed Rotarians determined to make a change. Make a huge effort to discover and create amazing auction items. Call in every marker you have. Create a buzz for the vent through social media. Target your audience and sell tables of ten…soooo much easier than single ticket sales. Have an outstanding venue and decorate it to the nines!  Top notch caterer secured? You bet! Oh, and a theme… Hot Havana Night. Toss in a live band that specializes in Cuban music. Most importantly…attention to detail!!! Okay, not so simple but the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise made this happen in June. One hundred and forty guests were treated to a fabulous charcuterie table, then wined and dined. They explored fabulous auction tables while butlers served delicious appetizers. Our Auctionista worked the crowd during our live auction and if you have never heard of a Golden Ticket …that is our secret! The result was gran exito!
