This Just In - Rotary Clubs Spring Breakout Fast Approaching

This press release just came across my desk and I thought I would share it with you.  We've already sent our files to press, so it won't make it in the printed March issue.  Sounds like a fun event.

ROTARY CLUB OF VERNON'S 50TH ANNUAL SPRING BREAK-OUT FOR SENIORS RAPIDLY APPROACHING
Highly Anticipated Event Attracts Up To 500 Local Area Seniors to Free Evening of Dinner and Live Entertainment
The Rotary Club of Vernon’s Annual Spring Break-out for Seniors takes place on the evening of Wednesday, March 16th, 2011 at the Vernon Recreation Centre. The highly anticipated event has been held for more than 50 years and is a free dinner and dance with live entertainment for local seniors. Nearly 500 attendees will enjoy a delicious complimentary meal with wine, served by Rotarians themselves. Door prizes, dance performances and live music will round out the fun evening.
The Spring Break-out runs from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm (doors open at 5:00 pm) and allows seniors to get out and have a social evening at no charge while welcoming the return of spring. The event is made possible through the generosity of local sponsors and volunteers, as well as donations raised from December’s Rotary Carol Festival. It is an opportunity for these valuable members of the community to mingle and meet people of the same age group and share common interests. The Rotary Club of Vernon also provides free drives for those who do not have transportation of their own.
Admission for seniors is by complimentary advanced ticket only, which can be picked up free of charge from the Vernon Schubert Centre or the Recreation Centre. Requests for drives may also be made at the same time.
