Rotaract at UCI’s Poker Night
On January 29th, 2010, Rotaract at UCI hosted their very first big fundraising event on the UCI campus, a poker night. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Newport-Irvine Rotary Club of district 5320, and many other private business sponsors, our club raised over $1000 of profit. We have decided to donate half of our profits to the Haiti relief effort; our hearts go out to the families and people affected by the tragic events that occurred there.
There were over 80 people in attendance of this event, a few of which were members of Rotary clubs in District 5320. We would like to thank them for showing their support and help in making our poker night a great success. We would also like to give a special thanks to our sponsoring Rotary Club, the Newport-Irvine Rotary Club, for helping us plan and prepare the event. Also an extremely special thanks to Dr. Shannon Burns and Mr. Earl Zulch of the Newport-Irvine club, because they truly exemplified Rotary’s spirit and cordiality. We could not have done it without you!
