Dear Clarkston Community,
The Rotary Club of Clarkston is excited to remind you of our ANNUAL Wine & Whiskey tasting! We are currently seeking donations for our Silent Auction and Raffle tables. Having your items by October 11th would greatly assist us in preparing them for the event.

- Golf or Event Packages: Perfect for those who enjoy special experiences.
- Gift Cards: Always a hit with attendees.
- Wine-Enhanced Items: Our motto is “add a bottle of wine,” which often makes for an enticing auction item.
- Unique and Desirable Items: In the past, items like backpack blowers, grills, lawn furniture, golf packages, event tickets, art, food and treat baskets, alcohol baskets, and sports memorabilia have been very successful.
We’re happy to brainstorm any ideas you might have for donations!
