North Iowa Rotarians become our premiere partners!

Rotarians from the Mason City Noon, Mason City Sunrise and Clear Lake Clubs are teaming with Central Gardens of North Iowa to share leadership, influence, contacts and fund raising expertise. By a vote of their respective boards and membership in January, 2002, the joint project will be a pioneering effort in North Iowa to provide service to the region.

The project provides:

• An expansion of Rotary’s long-term commitment to community beautification and tree planting
• Feasibility
• Positive economic, business and tourism impact.
• Accessibility and benefit to the aging and young, able and disabled
• Channels public energy towards a tangible sign of hope in our future and enduring Rotary goals of peace and international goodwill.
• Capitalizes on the recommendations from local and area economic development assessments that encourage more regional thinking and beautification

Rotarians will:

• Participate in development and activity of the Foundation Board for Central Gardens
• Spearhead fundraising activities
  

Mark The Date, Win The Car & Help Central Gardens

Mark Your calendars. April 24, 2003 is the big day of the annual Mason City Noon Rotary Auction.

We at Central Gardens are excited about the auction for several reasons:

1. Central Gardens has been a past recipient of the club’s fundraising efforts, and is expected to be again this year (along with other club projects). This club and two other area clubs are stakeholders in our project, and have pledged their support.

2. The auction will be held at the Music Man Square and will include the live radio auction and a silent auction (new this year). Bidders can register early and bid by number. Bidders can also use proxy bidding. So, plan to attend and have fun! And bring your wallet...

3. The auction activities conclude with the much-anticipated raffle drawing for the collectible new Ford T-Bird (see pictures below).

A limited amount of tickets are being sold, so to increase your odds of winning, consider getting a ticket before they are gone (only 5000 are being sold). For more tickets, e-mail us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to send more. Remember, a car makes a great gift for a birthday, anniversary, a thank-you or “job well done” for staff, etc.

So, mark the date, April 24th. Come join us at the Music Man Square…attend the Mason City Noon Rotary Auction and show them our support and give them thanks for being a stakeholder in our project.

We also would like to thank KGLO Radio for the tremendous on-air mention of Central Gardens in conjunction with the promo’s for the auction. Thank you, KGLO.
