Sparks Rotary Club – Mad Money Raffle!

Once again, the Sparks Rotary Club and I had the honor of bringing joy and education to our wonderful community with our annual Mad Money Raffle fundraising!

This raffle helps raise money for Sparks Rotary Club, which supports: Kids Free Fishing Day, held annually at the Sparks Marina, the fabulous 3rd grade Dictionary Program, where every Washoe County 3rd grader receives a dictionary; Rotary Youth Exchange; Rotary Youth Leadership Academy; our Partner in Education school Kate Smith Elementary; and many other worthwhile endeavors.

I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of you for your generous participation in The Sparks Rotary Club’s 4^th Annual Mad Money Raffle. Everyone who donated but didn’t win are all still winners, simply by choosing to donate to our local community and our most precious asset – the youth of our community. Thanks to all of you, we can continue to do the great work we enjoy doing in the local community.

We could not have had a more beautiful day for the Sparks Hometown Christmas Parade and the annual drawing. Our Rotary Youth Exchange Student from Germany drew the winning tickets and the first one drawn for the $10,000 prize was none other than our Honorable Mayor of Sparks – Geno Martini. Geno is a member of The Sparks Rotary Club and was being honored Saturday as The Grand Marshall of the 25^th Anniversary of the Hometown Christmas Parade. Pretty good for Geno – Congratulations!

Please enjoy some pictures from the beautiful day and once again a huge THANK YOU for your support of Rotary.
