The Club
888 Lucky Draw
is our Rotary Club's major fundraising event, now in its 26th
consecutive year. It has successfully funded both local
and international projects since its inception.
Our
Lucky Draw is unique. Each ticket subscriber is assigned a
number for 9 monthly draws. Each month we draw 6 to 8
different numbers to decide who wins the prizes for that
month. Immediately after the draw, all the numbers are
put back in the box for next month's draw. Join
us to have fun
and excitement while raising funds for our community service
and charity projects! This draw is usually held at our
dinner meetings on 3rd Thursday of each month.
Please email our
Executive Secretary for further details or call her at +852
2287-0134.
Each year
we try to raise about HK$400,000. The funds
are then allocated by our board and community service
committee to both local and international projects. So
far this year we have sold 478 tickets for $411,924.
Our operating expenses for government license, printing, and
postage are only about $15,000. Over
96% of revenue goes to charity!
I wish to
to thank our key sponsors : The Resort at Ludlow Bay, Swiss
International Airlines, Dragon Air, United Oil, and many others
who gave prizes.
Thanks
should also go to the
other members of the Club 888 committee: P.P. Nick
Pirie and Rtn. Jack Bain for their hard work.
A limited number of subscriptions for the remaining
2003-2004 draws is still available at a reduced price of $670.
