As President of the Sugar Land Rotary Club, Mark is reaching out and asking EVERY member to buy a ticket. Our club needs the resources to support our community.

Please go to www.slrotaryfundraiser.com and buy tickets. Even if you cannot make it to the event - you can always have a surrogate go in your stead!  There are also other options - you can donate $125 via Venmo on the website, or click on "Tickets", and donate only.  But we NEED seats filled, so please do everything you can to be there so that we have a strong and proud showing by our club.

Then, please SHARE the website with your friends and invite them.

Please donate to our club fundraiser and bring a bottle or 2 of wine to club meetings for the next month. Please put the bottle(s) on the back table or give to Karl who is handling the bucket raffle for the fundraiser.
Thanks for your donation!

We still need volunteers to help with the club fundraiser event. Please sign up on the clipboard at club meetings or contact Mark or Dean to volunteer before and/or during the event. We hope to see ALL club members, spouses and friends at the event. Buy your ticket from Josh early!!

If you have access too or own a large 150 inch or so projector screen and/or a projector we can hook our club laptop too. Please let me know as we need a screen and a projector for the fundraiser to show power point slides on the stage. Thanks for your help! Dean Clark
