Enjoy this holiday's premiere benefit event with good food, drinks, dancing, making new friends and, of course, TREES! Rotary is seeking help for this event in a variety of ways. As a Tree Sponsor, we invite businesses, community groups or individuals to sponsor and decorate a 6' Christmas Tree in any theme or fashion you desire. Imagination is encouraged! For a $100 sponsorship fee, Rotary provides the tree and the stand. Throughout the evening's event, attendees will have the opportunity to drop raffle tickets tricky-tray style in the bucket of the Tree they want to win the most. Prizes will be awarded for Most Creative, Most Popular and Most Outrageous. If you want to sponsor a tree but choose not to decorate it, Rotary will decorate the tree for you for an additional fee. Other sponsorship opportunities are also available! During the afternoon of 12/5 from 1:00 -4:00 pm, Santa will be visiting the Clinton Holiday Inn to see all of the beautifully decorated trees! Bring your children by while he's there and they can have a picture taken with him, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies and see all of the trees also. Your family may find the tree of your dreams – already decorated for you! Raffle tickets will also be sold during the afternoon. Please bring a canned-good donation to help build our can tree for The Food Pantry. The day culminates with the cocktail party and dinner in the evening from 6:00 - 10:00 pm. Enjoy great food, great music and a great time! Attendees will have an opportunity to view the trees, vote on their favorites and participate in a silent auction. The trees will also be raffled off during this time. Tickets are $50 each or $90/couple.
