We hope all members will sell at least 10 - $20 raffle tickets. We are unable to sell at many of the retail locations we had previously, so it is
important that all Rotarians participate; we
have the potential to raise $12,000!
Drawing will be Saturday, Sept. 11, after
the Battle of Plattsburgh Parade.
In Person Meetings Resume
The plan is that as of Sept. 1, the Rotary Club of Plattsburgh will no longer conduct its Wednesday meetings in hybrid format. Rotarians can attend the Wednesday meetings at noontime in the dining hall at the MHAB Life Skills Campus at
purposes. Please know that we continue to watch COVID numbers and will adjust plans accordingly, as necessary.
Battle of the Birds
A new fundraiser will be taking place during
Battle of Plattsburgh weekend in place of the Bed Race and the Roducky Derby. Additional details to come, please mark your calendars as we will need all hands on deck!
