The Flower Mound Rotary Club invites you to participate in our 5th Annual Vine and Dine Fundraiser on January 28, 2011. This dinner and wine-pairing event is a “Toast to Flower Mound Rotary Charities.”
Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million businesses, professionals and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world. There are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races and creeds. As signified by the motto “Service Above Self”, Rotary’s main objective is service – in the community, in the workplace and throughout the world.
This Rotary Club Fundraiser has increased each year – in both participants and number of charities it supports. This year’s attendance is expected to be more than 400 participants. The 2011 Vine and Dine will highlight a live auction as part of the evening’s festivities. All of the proceeds from the auction will benefit Rotarian-sponsored charities. Donations of individual or package-style gifts are welcome and will be featured in the auction entertainment.
Each year, our Rotarian-led community service committee receives applications from various charities for funding. The monies are distributed to the charities that are most in need of our help. Listed below are just some of the charities that have benefited from both monetary support and personal involvement from the Flower Mound Rotary Club. Last year, with your help, we were able to give over $40,000. |
