The Two BEST Things: Pizza and Rotary!
Posted

If you weren't already thinking about joining our Rotary club, you should! Because...pizza! Pizza is awesome. And tasty. And you know what else? Pizza with friends is even better. Rotary combined the best of both world this week when we went to Vinny's to support Project Graduation. I personally love the Gold N Tangy chicken wings, so I went with that and a nice side salad. Vinny's does a lot for the community, so when you're feeling a bit hungry it's a great place to go. As the man on the radio tells us: "internet shopping doesn't help local charities...shopping local does." Support your local business when you go out--it's fun, tasty, and keeps all that "dough" (he he) in the community!
Here's a nice report from Al:
On Monday, April 18th, the Rotary Clubs of Sierra Vista, headed up by the Sunrise Club, held a fund raiser for Project Graduation at Vinny’s Pizza. Vinny’s agreed to donate a percentage of all money spent at their restaurant on this date towards Project Graduation.
In addition a jug was passed around for participants to donate cash for this event. Vinny’s agreed to donate a percentage of all money spent at their restaurant on this date towards Project Graduation. In addition a jug was passed around for participants to donate cash for this event.
Project Graduation is an annual event where all the seniors graduating at Buena High School are invited to spend the night at a special party held at Buena. This party begins at 10 pm and continues all night with music, dancing, games, prizes and lots of food and soft drinks.
This costs the attending seniors nothing as it is paid for by donations from the community and sponsored by the Rotary Clubs.The attendees are encouraged to stay all night, as if they leave they can‘t return. This year the number of attendees is expected to be around 750 students, guests and volunteers.
The culmination of this year’s party will be a door prize of $2,000 cash for the lucky senior who has remained until after 5:00 am the next morning. In addition there are baskets of goodies for all attendees and several other cash prizes for those remaining through the night. Dee Foster, with the San Pedro Kiwanis is in charge of providing all the baskets. Dee has done this for many years.
In attendance at today’s fund raiser were County Supervisor Pat Call, City Mayor Rick Mueller, Fire Chiefs Bill Miller and Ron York, as well as other community leaders and members of the Rotary clubs. Dennis Bielicki with the Sunrise Rotary Club is the head of the committee, a position he has held for many years. Dennis spoke to the attendees and thanked them for their participation in this year’s event.
Also in attendance as guests of the noon club, were Dustin Foote, and his parents, Jane and Darryl Foote. Dustin is the Student of the Month and was given a certificate and $100 Chamber of Commerce Bucks to spend at any facility that is a chamber member.
Anyone interested in donating to this worthy event, should contact contact Dennis Bielicki whose telephone number is 249-3375.
