Treehouse necklace and
cufflinks available

One of a kind necklace and cufflinks created by artist Ginny Hampton of Watauga, TX to represent the treehouse are available for purchase.  Ten percent of the cost will be donated back to the Sunshine Campus.

 

 

The pendant features a handcrafted glass focal bead in crisp white, a blend of earthy greens and tans all swirled together and encased with crystal clear glass.   This bead is topped with a green Swarovski crystal, a nickel silver treehouse charm, and all sterling silver construction.  Each pendant comes ready-to-wear, hung on an 18" sterling silver chain. Retail Price: $125  

The cufflinks feature handcrafted button-shaped glass beads in a blend of crisp white, earthy greens and touch of tan.  To coordinate with pendants, the color in the cufflink beads are also twisted together and sit inside sterling plated cufflink hardware.  Retail Price: $75 

 

Jewelry was purchased from Susie's Irresistibles, a jewelry business which promotes team spirit among customer organizations. Owner Susan Harf partners with businesses, service organizations  and non-profits to provide employees, management, board members and stakeholders with unique jewelry germane only to that particular organization.  

 

If you are interested in purchasing the necklace or cufflinks please contact Myrna in the Rotary Office at 546-7435 x201 or myrna@rochesterrotary.org.

We Need Your Help!

 

We are excited to have been chosen as the charity this year that will benefit from the Red Wings "Launch a Ball" promotion.  Folks who go to a Saturday game can buy a tennis ball before the game and throw them on the field after the game to try to win a prize.

   

The proceeds from this promotion will go to Sunshine Campus.  In addition to being talked about during the games, the camp will be featured in radio ads on Warm 101.3, 94.1 The Zone and 93.3 Fickle.

 

To make this succesful, we need you help. 

 

We need eight volunteers for each Saturday night game this year, May 16th to August 29th.  All you have to do is sell tennis balls before the game, as a volunteer, you'll get to enjoy the game for free.

 

Plus, there will be fireworks after each game!

 

The following are dates that volunteers are needed:

 

July 4th

August 1st

August 15

August 29th

 

To sign up, contact Brandi at the Rotary office at 546-7435 x210 or brandi@rochesterrotary.org.
