This event wouldn’t be possible without everyone’s help! Our biggest thanks, though, go to all who donate items and all those great folks who buy those items. Thank you to all!! Because of your generosity, great things will happen! Our 5th Hog Raffle

We have had so much fun and success with this raffle since we introduced it that we just knew we had to bring it back again tonight!!! So here we go again!!

It’s simple really, we have a few decks of standard playing cards. We will begin by selling individual cards for $5.00 or three cards for $10.00. When you purchase a card, we’ll tear your card in half. You keep one half and the other goes into the bin for the drawing. We will begin selling chances as soon as the Lounge opens for the Auc- tion and will continue right up to the actual drawing time. When we reach the time in the Auction for the drawing, you’ll have one last opportunity to purchase cards. Once all the cards are in the bin, we’ll draw two winning cards and each winner will receive half of a hog to have butchered and processed just they way they want it.

But this is no ordinary hog, this a Berkshire hog from the farm of Rotarian Larry Thomsen, who has so generously donated this year’s prize hog!! So what is so special about a Berkshire hog? Well, “Berkshires date back over 300 years to the swine herd of the House of Windsor (that’s Britain’s Royalty) where they were prized for their exceptional flavor. Berkshires today are recognized worldwide for the perfect combination of juiciness, flavor, and tenderness.”

We will have your hog delivered to the Bagley locker where you can decide the cuts that you would like to have them make from your half. The processing is on us, too!

Goodbye Polio, Thanks Rotary

Rotary’s PolioPlus efforts have very nearly eradicated polio from our planet! We have it down to just 3 countries, as India was declared “Polio Free” this year. With the help of a matching grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Founda- tion, there will be $500 million generated to finish this work and bring an end to polio in this world once and for all!

As winter approaches, doesn’t a tropical vacation sound absolutely awesome right now! Waking up in the morning and throwing open the curtains to gaze out onto the Gulf of Mexico with the sun glistening off the water! Well, here’s your chance! The Galleon Resort & Marina is located right in the heart of Old Town Key West, Florida. This first class resort says that “while the customer service and spacious Key West accommoda- tions keep guests coming back, it’s the endless amenities and inviting views from our waterfront resort that make it so hard to leave!”

If you love to play in and on the water, you’ll have all the options you could ever dream of. Per- haps boating is your thing. Well, you can rent a boat to cruise around the gulf right at the resort’s very own marina. Maybe you prefer jet-skis to a boat, so you can rent one of those instead. Or perhaps you’d rather go deep sea fishing. A number of fishing charters are available as well.

With the only living coral reef in the United States and third largest reef in the world, it is es- sential that you go snorkeling or even scuba diving to see the unbelievable colors of the fish, coral, and even sea turtles! It is sure to be one of the absolute highlights of your whole trip. You may want to take more than one trip to the reef to enjoy the color- ful display of life in motion!

After snorkeling, try some of the other great ways to play in the water like parasailing, kayaking, waterskiing, or even wind surfing. If there’s a way to play in the water, you’ll find it’s available for you to add to your vaca- tion agenda. When you’re done playing in the warm gulf water, you can stretch out on the resort’s own private beach to soak up some of the sun’s rays (make sure to put on your sunscreen first). There’s also a beautiful pool next to the beach if you’d rather swim in some fresh water for a change of pace.

You’ll definitely want to check out the view from the roof of the resort with a full 360 degree view of the beauty of Key West, especially at sunset. The colors as the sun dips below the water are among the most breathtaking you can imagine. And you don’t want to miss out on all of the things you can do on land as well. Key West is home to some of the most fabulous art galleries and museums in all of Florida, and the arts and culture options are vast and varied. Add the incredible shopping available in the unique shops of Old Town and throughout the city, and you’ll find plenty to do.

Finally, you won’t want to miss one of our most unique sites by visiting Dry Tortugas National Park, a group of seven islands that is one of the world’s greatest eco-attractions. It is home to Fort Jefferson (Jefferson, that’s cool!!), a former Civil War prison that you will be totally amazed by.

We have a one week stay from Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 4:00 pm through Saturday, September 5, 2015, at 10:00 am in a Penthouse Condo at The Galleon Resort & Marina in Key West, Florida.

This is truly one of the finest packages that has ever graced our Auction tables!! You are in- vited to “Experience the Magic of Africa” through an unforgettable Photo Safari at Zulu Nyala in South Africa. Zulu Nyala has its own private game reserve tucked in between the Mkuze, Hluhluwe and St. Lucia reserves in the heart of what is perhaps South Africa’s most diverse conservation region! All of these reserves are home to a wide variety of animals including rhinos, leopards, elephants, giraffe, lions, and over 400 bird species. You will have guided access to the reserves to view these magnificent creatures up close in their own wild habitat. These are not zoo settings; these animals are free to roam wherever they want to go in these reserves that have been set aside and managed to protect them from being hunted uncontrollably toward extinction.

Zulu Nyala prides itself on providing luxurious accommoda- tions, fabulous food, and fantastic service to its guests! You will have your choice of staying in the Heritage Safari Lodge or the Heritage Luxury Tented Safari Camp. The Heritage Safari Lodge was originally built in the 1940s and has been restored to “its former colonial grandeur enhanced with a delightful colonial ambience” along with all of the modern conveniences you would expect from a world class resort. The lodge’s estate adjoins their private game reserve to maximize your access to viewing the game throughout your stay. It is also is perfectly situated for access to the region’s many heritage, conservation, and cul- tural sites.

The Tented Safari Camp is located on the secure estate of the Heritage Safari Lodge, so that you are close enough to enjoy all of its amenities, and yet it is separate enough that you can feel totally away from civiliza- tion and more a part of the wild African environment. Each tent has its own private ve- randa from which you can view the zebras, nyala, and impala that roam the estate grounds. The word “tent”, though, does not begin to portray the luxury of these fantas- tic living quarters. Along with spacious sleeping and relaxing areas, each “tent” has a magnificent bathroom that includes both a luxurious shower and bath! The camp is also close to the Zulu Cultural Village where Zulu tribesman live and carry out the traditions and cultural practices of their ancestors. Zulu dancers from the village visit the Tent Camp nightly to display their skills for the enjoy- ment and amazement of all the guests.

The stars of this visit, though, are the animals!!! You’ll be able to experience them up close through guided game viewing activities from professional game rangers in open game viewing vehi- cles. You’ll want to make sure to have plenty of digital cards for your camera because you will probably take thousands of pictures of these fascinating creatures. Additional activities are available for purchase such as whale watching tours, scuba diving and snorkeling in Sodwana Bay, deep sea fishing, golfing, and many more.

We were privileged enough to sell two of these packages in 2012, and those who went have come back raving about the quality of their experience. A few of these pictures are from the Feldmanns and Monaghans who recently had their trip. They recommend it highly as does our other winner, Sheila Hebenstreit!

This package includes 6 days and 6 nights of luxury accommodation for two people at the Heritage Safari Lodge or the Heri- tage Tented Safari Camp. Three fabulous meals each day prepared by some of the finest inter- national chefs are included. You will be able to go on two professionally guided game viewing activities each day of your stay (that’s 12 photo safaris when you do the math). The package has an expiration date of two years from the date of our Auction (that will be November 14, 2016), and it can be booked for any time of year. The pack- age does not include airfare, transfers, side trips, personal beverages or phone calls. Once purchased, the package is non-transferable and non-refundable, and thus it can not be given to any other person or organization or bartered or sold in any other manner. Additional people may accompany the buyer at greatly discounted rates. Air fares currently range from $1,500 to $2,500 per person round trip depending on time of travel.
