Our Club has promised [committed to providing] not less than 80 participants. NB: The price per head is $60.00, on which our margin is only FIVE DOLLARS, so we need a large turnout. We will have a silent Auction plus a 'bid - auction' for three major items. This is where we raise the money; not from catering. The event is BYO [this keeps the price down, no bar staff or drink margin]. The Facility is being provided FREE Your attendance is encouraged to ensure that we have a truly successfully evening and that the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza is well represented. A celebrity MC for the evening is being sought. All funds raised on the evening will go the the District 9820 Bushfire Relief Fund.

By the way, there will be no, no, no Club Meeting the evening prior. Now, listen please : This is the only 'direct' payment event by us.
