Horse Racing and Cupcakes with Twin Rivers Rotary

On March 3rd, members of our club and the Lane County club helped out at Twin Rivers' big fundraiser, a Kentucky Derby watch party and silent auction.  Attendees were given the opportunity to wager raffle tickets on a number of taped horse races, which were thrillingly commentated by Al Peterson from KVAL News.

In addition to the silent auction and the races, there were also cupcakes for sale, some of which were marked on the underside of the wrapper with a dot--if you got a dot, you could select one of several smaller prizes, from a mancala board to a set of screwdrivers to a basket with a gym membership and t-shirts.

The funds went to a number of the club's programs, including Shoes for the Sole, Gift of Literacy, and Annual Dictionary Project, RYLA, and Habitat for Humanity.
