News of Vast Import and Interest to Woodinville Rotarians

Welcome
Francia

Francia Antelo arrived Saturday from Bolivia to spend this exchange student year with Woodinville Rotary.
Her first host family is John and Cathi Abbott. Be sure to greet and welcome Francia at this week's meeting.

"Save the
Date"
cards
available
at the
meetings.

Table captains and members who have not yet signed up to fill a table are encouraged to register NOW for the October 4 event. REMINDER: Through quarterly dues, all 56 Rotarians have or will have paid for two tickets to Wine'n Shine 2008. By registering you and your guests and telling us whether you or your guest will be paying the guests' $125 tickets this year, this should eliminate considerable confusion at the registration desk the night of the event. It will also prevent your credit card being billed mistakenly for your own tickets!

Check out this Table Captains link for a list of those who have agreed to "captain" a table. Twenty five have signed on.

Printed invitations are scheduled to be mailed the end of this week to non-Woodinville Rotarians who have attended previous Wine'n Shine events. If you have the name and info of someone you would like to make sure receives an invite, please send that info by mid-week to Joe Truglio.

Registration forms are available here. Please return in person at a future meeting or by mail to P.O. Box 2016, Woodinville, WA 98072.

It Pays
to be
a Table
Benefactor
or Patron!

Consider hosting a Benefactor or Patron Table
By hosting a Patron Table ($2,000) or a Benefactor Table ($3,500), you and your table's guests will each have special auction scrip that can be used just like dollars when bidding for live auction items. Those seated at a patron's table each receive $50 in scrip and those at benefactor's tables each receive $150 in auction scrip. Special recognition via Power Point and signage for the table will also be included . . . not to mention being in the video spotlight that night, appearing on the video screens throughout the event as you put that auction scrip to work.

Individual Patron tickets - $200 each, Benefactor tickets $350.

Scrip has no cash value, redeemable only night of Wine'n Shine

Vicki
seeking
memorabilia
for
Wine'n Shine
decor

Decor planning in full swing
Vicki Puckett and her gang of decorating pros (Karen, Mike and Rhondi) are looking for memorabilia that can be displayed (and returned to owner) at Wine'n Shine that is in keeping with the decor and attire theme of the evening. This means items representing your alma mater or favorite sports team. Please let Vicki know what you could provide (how and when). Pennants, pom poms, megaphones, jerseys, you name it...
