At the Foundation Gala, I reported that Foundation Annual Fund giving is down and asked for help from our Rotarians. I announced a fun promotion running from January 28 - April 29, to encourage more giving. To date, 79 Rotarians from 25 clubs have contributed to our Foundation Annual Fund via Raffle Mania through the Raffle Mania registration or Gonzolo Garza match.
If you haven’t purchased your tickets click here to purchase your tickets for the chance to win 1 of the 4 great destination prizes that will be awarded on April 29 at the District Conference of Clubs. I have also added an additional prize for a Raffle Mania participant who registers for & attends District Conference - winner will be reimbursed for conference registration. * 100% of Raffle Mania revenue is credited to the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund & the Rotarian donor account.
 
Speaking of District Conference of Clubs; I would like to invite you to join me for this special weekend of celebration, fellowship and fun. The Holiday Inn Corpus Christi Downtown Marina, overlooking the Corpus Christi Marina, offers the perfect location for our weekend stay. Your Conference committee is preparing a weekend full of fun relationship building opportunities where you can connect with your fellow Rotarians from throughout the district. We have made sure to include plenty of time to explore Corpus Christi and have put together some great excursion options that will be sent to registrants very soon. Register today! If Foundation Gala is any indication, we are sure to sell out and you don’t want to miss this special time of connection.
