WELCOME, FROM THE ROTARY CLUBS OF GRAND RAPIDS, MN.

The combined membership of the Rotary Clubs of Grand Rapids would like to thank you for your generous support of the First Annual Rotary $10,000 Giveaway. Thanks to you, we raised over $26,000 to donate the Rotary Tent at KAXE's amphitheater on the bank of the Mississippi River.

Today we are introducing The 2006 Rotary $15,000 Giveaway, with a $10,000 Grand Prize, which will be held on March 17, 2006 in observance of St. Patrick's Day. The event will again be held at the Wendigo Lodge and Convention Center south of Grand Rapids. You are cordially invited to this year's event with this notice.

The 2005 event was a sellout, and we've added additional cash and prizes with new ways to win. Reserve your pass into the largest St. Patrick's Day party in Itasca County by filling out the enclosed form and mailing it for a chance to win $10,000 in cash!!! For more information, contact our Ticket Coordinator, Pat Casey, at Heritage Tire, 1100 South Pokegama Ave, Grand Rapids, MN 55744, or call him at 218-326-0042. Once again, thank you for your continued support.
