This week at Rotary - Big Ticket Night
Big Ticket night is back after 2 years.   
This is one of the premier events on the Rotary calendar and we're set to go - this Wednesday, May 11th.
 
For the new members of the club, the event is based around a reverse raffle - object is you want to be one of the lucky people holding one of the last 5 tickets.   
During the raffle we give away random cash prizes to numbers pulled. 

The $120 per person price includes entry into the raffle, 2 drink tickets and choice of Prime Rib or Salmon dinner. 
 
Mike Sloane at Brookside will have tickets for you and your guests.  He will be the point person for ticket sales.
 
I am expecting the tickets to go very fast this year since we have not had this event for two years.   
Many of the attendees are Brookside club members so don't hesitate to get your tickets.  
 
Thank you.

Camp Neidig 2022
Dear Fellow Rotarians:
 
The Camp Neidig Registration Site is now officially open.
Our 2022 Camp Neidig Youth Leadership Program will be held June 17th - June 20th at Camp Manatawny.  
All forms are available on our website https://www.campneidig.com/forms--registration.html.   
PLEASE download the Neidig Chairperson packet HERE as it has all the necessary registration instructions.  Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required for students to attend camp.
In the Neidig Chairperson Packet you will also see easy hyperlinks to register your club and your campers and buy chicken barbeque tickets.  I have attached the packets HERE for your convenience.
 
For complete instructions, please make sure you read the Club Chairperson Packet.  We have included screen shots to help make registering easy.  The registration fee is $300/camper.  There is no limit on how many campers a club sends.
Neidig Night tickets will only be available through on-line purchase with a credit card.  Remember, the price of the Neidig Night Barbeque is included in the camper tuition, so you do not need to purchase tickets for campers.       
 
To help people understand the spirit of our camp, we created a short promotional video that can be accessed on our website home page.   This is a wonderful tool to use for recruitment of campers.   If you have any questions or need additional help, please to do not hesitate to contact Charlie or myself at the e-mail addresses listed below.
Thanks for your support and see you at camp!!
