Press Release: for immediate distribution

Submitted by: Julie Stern, on behalf of the Rotary Club of Lake Geneva

The Lake Geneva Women’s Weekend has been around for four years, but it has recently been adopted by the Rotary Club of Lake Geneva.

“We are so thrilled,” said Rotary president Pamela Ellis, “to have this opportunity to benefit so many members of our community. It is our intention to build up this event in the coming years to provide a jump-start for area hotels, restaurants, retailers and recreation companies. The biggest bonus of all is that we have a team of dedicated volunteers to handle the workload, and all the profits will be used toward area scholarships, food pantry donations, and other good causes.”

For this effort to be most effective, the Rotary Club is asking local companies to participate. With as little as $25, it is easier than ever for companies to reach hundreds of women during the weekend of April 27 – 29, 2012.

Receive free advertising on the event website if you donate an item for one of our raffles. We will post a photograph of the item with a description, and include information about your store and your location.

The coupon books have been very popular and effective, and this year companies can participate at a reduced price. It is only $25 to offer a first coupon, and $5 for each additional coupon.

The Rotary would also like to invite you to consider becoming a sponsor. There are many levels of sponsorship available, from just $25 up to $2,500, with corresponding increasing benefits. Sign up early for maximum exposure on the website. Call Sherry at 262-745-1520 for details.

Or, better yet, become a part of the bigger picture and feel great about your involvement in our community by joining the Rotary Club. Call Ron at 262-245-6662 or visit the Rotary website at www.LakeGenevaRotary.org

Ellis said this is a wonderful way we can join forces and work together to accomplish something meaningful for Lake Geneva. Get involved, or at least get your girlfriends together for a fun weekend filled with unusual activities and special memories. Register now at www.lakegenevawomensweekend.com.
