It’s even more ‘feel good’ than you might have thought possible: a sizable donation will be made to the local non-profit of each award winner’s choice.
The Rotary Club wants to entice you with one of a kind special auction items. These are items—like two front section VIP tickets to every concert at Harvey’s Outdoor Concert Arena—that can’t be otherwise bought. In addition, trips, dinners, and many other special things will be available to bid on in their silent auction. Tickets for this great night out are $75 each or $600 for a table of ten. In addition to supporting numerous worthy causes, you’ll be treated to a full Irish buffet dinner, wine, and dancing.
