Iowa City Noon Rotary 100th Anniversary & Raffle
Linda Farkas and Jody Braverman encouraged every Rotarian to sell raffle tickets for a 2015 Toyota Highlander SUV to support the celebration of the Iowa City Noon Rotary 100th anniversary. Raffle tickets are $25 each or 5 for $100. Net proceeds will benefit the Coralville Public Library, the Iowa City Public Library, the North Liberty Community Library, and   projects/programs of Iowa City Noon Rotary. Jody reminded Rotarians that raffle tickets are classified as gambling in Iowa and as such are not a tax-deductible donation. Each Rotarian was given an opportunity to sign-out a packet with tickets to sell. Please contact Jody Braverman for additional details -- 319/631-0416 or <jtbraverman@yahoo.com>
