TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME…..
Yes, come join with your Rotarian friends and families on July 22 at the ballpark (Globe Life Field) and cheer the home team on as they play those dastardly Dodgers from Los Angeles.
We want to begin the new Rotary year with some fun and fellowship. We are inviting our Rotarian friends in our neighboring District 5790 (Fort Worth and beyond) to join us , too.
This is an opportunity for clubs to come to the game together and, course, for individual Rotarians to bring their families to the ballpark for a fun afternoon.
Tickets are $52 each (include a $20 contribution to Polio+), our way of supporting Rotary’s effort to end this terrible disease while being able to enjoy the fun of being together. Tickets will go fast, buy now!
There is also an opportunity for clubs to share a tailgate party before the game with all Rotarians and friends attending the game. See attached flyer.
