Did you know? Originally, only one representative from each business or profession was invited to join a club. Paul Harris felt that if several members of the same profession were to join, they would either sit together and “talk shop” or compete against each other for other members’ business. The idea of “trade-boosting” was gradually eliminated, and by 1912,Rotarians were no longer required to exchange business with one another.
Attention Fellow Rotarians! We need you to volunteer for our Tri-Lakes Dynamic Rotary Club's Glow Bingo fundraiser next Friday, January 23rd, at 6:30 PM at Monument Community Presbyterian Church. How can you help, you ask?
RSVP and Spread the Word! As you share the event with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and on social media — and consider reserving a spot to play yourself. While this event is free to attend, we are suggesting a $25+ donation per player, with proceeds benefiting Heart of Monument Play Park. Tickets reserve your seat, and donations are suggested ($25+ per person) but not required. This meaningful project will support community members of all ages and abilities, and it's an excellent opportunity for our club to amplify our impact through collaboration.
Support Sponsorships! Consider becoming a sponsor or helping us connect with potential sponsors. Email Alisha and Nicole with your sponsor suggestion, please!
Volunteer for the Night of the Event! We need your superpowers!! We'll be looking for volunteers the day of Glow Bingo ~ Feel free to sign up for multiple slots!!!
