The fundraiser is set for Saturday, March 27th at the Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Up for raffle is a 9.5-1.00 carat diamond solitaire with a SI-1 clarity and GH color valued at $4,000. Raffle tickets are on sale now for $100 each at www.HendersonvilleRotary.org; the catch is there are only 100 tickets available and ticket holders must be present to win.
“The Days of Wine & Roses is a major fundraiser for our club,” explains Payne. “Each year we want to make it a little more special so people want to continue coming.”
Tickets are priced at $75 each and include wine tastings of over 200 wines from around the world, an international beer tasting station, heavy hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction. The evening will conclude with the raffle drawing.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.HendersonvilleRotary.org, at the door or by contacting any member of the Hendersonville Rotary Club. Valet parking and Safe Ride Home will be available through out the evening.
