ROTARY SPONSORS MARDI GRAS CASINO NIGHT AT AIR FORCE MUSEUM
The Rotary Club of San Marcos is hosting a Mardi Gras theme Casino Night fundraiser on Friday, February 13 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. La Cima will serve as the Presenting Sponsor for the event.
The venue for the Casino will be the Centex Wing of the Commemorative Air Force Museum, 2249 Airport Road, San Marcos. There will be casino games, Cajun food, beer and wine, prizes and a $15,000 diamond raffle. Attendees are encouraged to wear beads, masks, and other Mardi Gras accessories. The Museum hanger will be festively decorated for the Sweethearts’ Mardi Gras theme.
Co-chairing the event this year are Peter Baen and Sharla Marshall. Sharla said about the event, “This is a great annual community event that has raised thousands of dollars to support local charities who share Rotary’s values of ‘Service Above Self.’ This year it is extra special because it is right before Valentine’s Day so it is a terrific opportunity for sweethearts to have a fun night out.“
Proceeds support Rotary club service projects, including funding for the new “Dick Burdick / Rotary International Scholarship” at Texas State University. This scholarship benefits students who are committed to studying international business. Dick Burdick was a longtime San Marcos resident who founded Thermon, an international industrial heating business. He was also the District Governor of Rotary District 5840 in South Central Texas. Sponsorships and reserved tables for eight are available in advance by emailing SMTXrotary@gmail.com. General admission $50 tickets will be limited.
