Save the Date & here's some background on Wine into Water!

Some of our new members have asked about our annual fundraiser Wine into Water, Friday September 8th this year. With Judy Zone as Chair for the event this year we have already received our assignments, but I will just give some additional information about our event for those who are new to our Club.

Key bullets and a brief history on Wine Into Water:

• Clean water is the biggest need in our modern world
• Millcreek Club decided to partner with other Rotary Clubs in Utah, apply for International grants, and provide clean water in impoverished villages – Justin Powell is our club’s international service chair. We have held five fundraisers and supported International Projects in a new country each year. This year, the country is Cambodia.
• We provide the clean water station, check on the projects, AND provide education which is essential for success
• Our Club came up with the idea several years ago as a play on words – drink some wine, and your donation goes to water, thus the name Wine Into Water
• There are also non-alcoholic beverages available, and really great food (light music is playing – just a lovely evening)
• The event is at Tracy Aviary again this year.

• I speak for a few minutes, followed by Justin. He gives an update on the projects- we keep it short and sweet – planning on 7:00
• Attending guests will receive a free ‘come back to the Aviary voucher’ when they check in, so they can come another time and enjoy the Aviary
• We have a bird trainer that will walk the event from 6-630 with some sort of bird.
• The Aviary is open for our guests to roam during the party; however, W2W is set up just east of the front gates – the check in workers will guide your guests.

Below is a photo that explains the whole reason we do this fundraiser. Please also refer to the Save the Date flyer when you invite your friends to this great event. Invites coming soon!

Happy Fundraising!
