Launch Party with Rotary
November 5th 5:30-7:30
This will also be an historical event as it will be the first opportunity for fellowship among all three groups: the Lunch Club, the Satellite Committee and us the Rotaract Club. Spouses and guests are welcome and we encourage their attendance as well.
There will be a cash bar and complimentary Hors d’ oeuvres, entertainment and prizes will be included. If you don’t have facebook you can RSVP to Rotarian Jacqueline Rudloff at Jacqueline.rudloff@db.com.
Save the date for Friday, November 14th when we will go to Catty Shack Ranch.
Meow! Meow! Meow! Let’s go on a guided tour and see all the big kitty cats (Siberian tigers, lions, cougars, black leopards, a bobcat, a coatimundi and foxes) at the sanctuary! Tours begin at 6:00 PM and leave approximately every 15 minutes. Tours last about 45 minutes.
But the most exciting part is feeding time. They suggest everyone arrive at the ranch by 7:00 PM to allow for adequate time for check-in and walking to the feeding point. At 7:30 PM, we will get to watch over 600 pounds of meat distributed throughout the sanctuary! Get ready to see their “wild” side – there’s sure to be plenty of roaring!
Gates open at 6:00 PM.
Feeding begins at 7:30 PM.
Admission:
Adults: $15!
Community Service
The distribution will start at 9:00 a.m. They expect to serve around 400 people that day. Some volunteers will be helping distribute the bags, others will help people load the items to their car, and others will continue to bag the items.
We have been invited to Downtown Rotaract’s Speed Friending event. See their facebook page to RSVP or just show up.
