Brigade Days Draw
New this year is the Rotary Brigade Days Draw. Yes! we are bringing back the ever popular
Brigade Days Draw, with a grand prize of $5000 and many subsidiary prizes! Only 950 tickets
are being printed and at the bargain price of $20 each they are going to go fast. Watch the
Hope Standard for our announcement of the start of Ticket sales and contact your favorite
Rotarian to get your tickets early! The big draw happens after the Demolition Derby at
Brigade days - and the tickets are expected to be sold out long before the cars begin
butting fenders!
Club 300
A total of 300 tickets are sold each session. All 300 are entered into 26 weekly draws.
Each week a lucky ticket holder will win either the regular $100 cash prize, or one of
the quarterly $500 prizes. The final draw of the period is for a grand prize of $1000!
With the introduction of the Rotary Brigade Days Draw, we are changing the dates of the
2003/04 draw. Watch for ticket sales to start in early 2006. Ticket prices will be $26
for the 6 month draw period - that's only $1 for each draw. Remember! Your ticket can win
more than once!
Make sure you contact your favorite Rotarian to reserve your ticket before they all sell
out.
Live Auction
From 1992 to 2003, the Rotary Club of Hope raised funds and entertained the local community
with the annual Rotary TV Auction, held in mid November. The production quality and caliber
of on air delivery was somewhat less than you would experience on national network TV, but
a good time was had by both the production crew and viewers, and thousands of dollars were
raised each year to support the community projects and activities of the Rotary Club of
Hope.
After 11 years of success with the TV Auction it is time to change gears, and Hope Rotary
has now moved into a Live Auction format. The New Auction takes place in the spring of the
year with both a silent and live auction, full of valuable donated goods from Hope and area
businesses and merchants. In addition to the thrill of a live auction, the night features
entertainment, snacks and door prizes for those attending. Our first live auction night was
a huge success this year and planning is already underway for next year.
All past and potential future donors are urged to start planning now for what they want to
donate. Remember, in return for your donation, you will receive the following benefits!
