Friday, May 3, 2024, marked another financially successful, sold-out fundraiser for the Rotary Club of London Hyde Park. The 120 guests were presented with six dishes representing the best in Spanish cuisine by West Haven’s Chef Darrel and his staff. Each dish was accompanied by a wine specifically selected by our wine expert Malcolm to enhance the dishes and wake up the taste buds. As a special treat, recipes for the dishes served and suggestions for wine pairings were included in the Event Program printed by Sterling Marking Products.
Funds earned through sponsorships, silent and live auctions and the raffle allow our small club to carry out the projects approved by the club. Tickets cover expenses. Our treasurer Toni reports that we will net over $19 000 to do good in our local and international communities. Sponsorships and Raffle proceeds were up this year, Silent Auction proceeds were down and Live Auction proceeds were up from last year.
Congratulations go to our 2024 Raffle winner Majo Camacaro of London. A special thanks goes out to Paul and Paula Woods for hosting the 6-course tapas-style dinner for 8 at Woody’s Lounge. The prize valued at $2500 includes food, paired wines, chefs, wine experts, waitstaff and entertainment. It will be delivered by October 31, 2024.
Our thanks go out to our 15 generous sponsors, whose logos appear on our website, one anonymous gi\-in-kind sponsor, responsible for delivering the online catalogue as well as the many donors who helped by donating items to the silent and live auctions. Your contribuIons as well as the proceeds from the raffle directly impact our bo^om line and allow our club to do good in the local and internaIonal communiIes in which we serve. Thank you.
Yours in Rotary,
