Our social chair Stacey Hannon and committee put together a fun event "Falling for Lucy' which was held on November 2nd at the Lucy Desi Museum and Center for Comedy in downtown Jamestown. While the main idea was to just have fun it turned out to be that and a successful fund raiser for our club to boot!
Thanks go out to Stacey the main driver of this event, the Lucy Desi Center and staff who had their act together and were above helpful, Miley's Old Inn and staff who's service and food selection were number one and to all of those kind people who bought the $35 tickets to make this a success.
The tickets were limited to 200 with the grand prize being $1,000, the second of $500 and third got you a not bad $200. Greg Jones had the luck of selling the first and second winning prize tickets to Jay and Alison Churchill who generously donated the second prize of $500 back to the club for Rotary International's Polio eradication project. Ony two countries remain with active cases in the world, thank you Jay and Alison for helping us to wipe out polio once and for all!
Falling for Lucy was as advertised a fun event and it fulfilled that promise as it was a great way to spend a Monday night in downtown Jamestown.
