HOW IT WORKS:

Past President Jerry Sarver accepted the Rotary International Public Relations Award recognizing a successful launch campaign to promote awareness and understanding of Rotary.
The VanLandingham Rotary Club is busy preparing for our 18th Annual Auction to be held February 26, 2012. Since its inception, this communitywide event has raised almost $1,000,000.00 to benefit various Lowcountry children’s charities. Proceeds from the 2011 Auction allowed us to fulfill approximately one-half of our $100,000.00 pledge to Volunteers In Medicine (“VIM”), which moved into its new pediatric dental clinic earlier this year. We thank you for your previous support of this event and our community.
Your participation in Auction 2011 as a Corporate Sponsor or Donor is essential to our success in funding our pledge. Please contact a Rotarian or us at www.vlrauction.com to discuss your participation in this truly “Win Win” event!
