Jeff Furest is the President Nominee of the Mt. Clemens Rotary Club and came to regale us with their plans for their next big fund raiser.
The Mt. Clemens Club is celebrating its 100th anniversary and has given out over $3 million dollars in grants and funding over that time. For the occasion, the Club is putting together an ambitious event to both celebrate this and to raise $100,000 for the community.
The black-tie Gala takes place on June 5th at Villa Penna in Sterling Heights. In addition to great food, entertainment, and atmosphere, there will also be a 50/50 raffle with $17,500 in prize money and an incredible live auction. The auction items are (1) a golf outing for three with LPGA legend Nancy Lopez (who will be attending as the Honorary Foundation Chair) at her private club in Florida; (2) a cycling excursion in Scottsdale, Arizona with nine-time Tour de France competitor, Frankie Andreu; and (3) a ten-day vacation for six at a Marriott resort in Kauai, Hawaii. A private jet trip for ten to the Jack Daniels Distillery in Tennessee has already been gobbled up.
Individual tickets can be purchased for the Gala and VIP tables and sponsorships are also available. To learn more about the event and to watch a teaser trailer, please visit www.mcrgala.com. (Pictured Judy Masserang, Steve & Beth Pryor and Jeff Furest)
