Not only will you have several chances to win, but 100% of your gift goes directly to the community (locally and worldwide). Tickets can be purchased with me personally, at Dogwood Pet Hospital (I’ll keep a few at the front desk), or I can drop them in the mail.

Gresham Rotary is a club dedicated to Service to our Community and your donations will help some of the following projects:

  • College Scholarships to area Youth
  • Sports Track at Gradin Sports Park in Gresham
  • Recent and continuing participation in restoration work around Johnson Creek and several area Parks
  • Participation with Meals on Wheels
  • Support for, and annual Spring Cleanup at, YMCA’s Camp Collins
  • Promotion of Ethics in our professions and businesses, working with and setting examples for community youth and through local schools.
  • Donation of library books to local elementary schools
  • Holiday Baskets and Christmas gifts for needy families.
  • Monetary donations to numerous community needs

Remember Polio not too many years ago? As part of Rotary International, perhaps the world’s largest international humanitarian organization, we decided in 1985 to eradicate Polio! With help from other organizations (WHO; Bill Gates Foundation), Rotary has now vaccinated over 2 Billion children, and only a few thousand cases of Polio now exist in only 4 countries!! I encourage you to watch our video of  Rotary International’s Polio Plus Campaign (click here to view) documenting the immunization of 136 million children (over a one week span).

Our club recently joined 6 other area clubs and brought fresh water supply and sanitation to a village in Bali, Indonesia. Rotary hopes to carry this on to the Whole World.

Thanking You in advance for all this; and good luck with your winning ticket!

Chuck Hawkins, D.V.M.
