Staff Reports

The Rotary Club of South Lake Tahoe hosts its 12th annual car raffle. The fundraiser offers the chance to win one of three automobiles or $25,000 cash as the grand prize. Second prize is $1,000 cash. The automobiles include a Toyota Four-Runner, a Tacoma or a Prius, provided by CardinaleWay of South Lake Tahoe.

Purchase tickets from any Rotary Club of South Lake Tahoe member. A completed, numbered ticket stub will be entered in your name. The receipt portion, complete with valuable coupons for you to redeem whether you win a car or not, will be returned to you with your ticket numbers. A maximum of 1,500 tickets will be sold, with 25 tickets drawn April 28. Finalists will be invited to a Rotary-sponsored dinner on May 5 where one key will open the vehicle. The other 24 finalists will be put into a drawing for a second prize of $1,000 cash.

You do not need to attend the dinner to win, as a proxy can attend for you or one will be appointed. Information, www.sltrotary.org
