The final Early Bird drawing will be held on December 16th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All tickets purchased by November 30 will be entered into this last early bird drawing. Early bird winners&#8217; tickets will be placed back into the drawing for the grand prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is the major fundraiser that allows our club to make so many contributions to the community, such as $18,000 in college scholarships to area students each year,&#8221; said President Lynn VanDerBeck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rotary also contributed $250,000 toward the Healthy Living Campus that opened this year on Main Street, a joint project for the YMCA and United Memorial Medical Center and a $150,000 matching pledge for the renovation of the local hospital&#8217;s Intensive Care Unit, VanDerBeck said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Fundraisers like this Corvette event are critical for helping us help others,&#8221; said Lisa Ormsbee, who co-chairs the event with Laurie Mastin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the grand prize, there are additional prizes of $500 each, Mastin explained.
