Help us make miracles: First Annual Wine into Water Benefit Event!

The members of Rotary Club of Millcreek invite you to their first annual signature fundraising event: Wine into Water - wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres in a casual lawn party setting. Thursday September 13, 2012 6-8pm at our club president's Laurie Summers-Pisani's home in the Avenues: 355 Crestline Circle.

Our Benefit is a limited opportunity drawing. Suggested donation per person is $50, and only 100 tickets are available. The name drawn that evening will receive the $1,000 grand prize.

RSVP by sending a check by or before September 10 to Rotary Club of Millcreek, 4517 Abinadi Rd., SLC UT 84124.

Our goal: to raise money for two water filtration systems in small villages along the Amazon River in Peru. Each year, we will select a different water project in another impoverished village and nation. Clean water is a critical health need that we take for granted in the U.S.

Here are some startling facts:

• 3.575 million people die worldwide each year from water related disease. That's equal to the population of Los Angeles.
• 884 million people worldwide lack access to clean water. That's 3 X the population of the U.S.
• An American taking a five minute shower uses much more water than a person in a developing country village or slum has access to for all his or her needs in an entire day.
