The Game:
You receive a bid card that has all the ticket numbers of the guests.
You bet another guest who will stay in the game the longest. You can bet as much as you like, but
most bets are $1. You indicate your bet on each other’s card. These wagers are between you and
the other guests. If you win, you get $1 from that player. If you lose, you pay them $1!
Throughout the evening, 10 numbers are randomly drawn.
If your number is called, you are out of the game and you owe the guests you bet that are still in
the game, the amount you bet them. If their number is called first, they owe you. Everyone either
pays up or collects if they bet any of the numbers drawn.
Extra numbers will be auctioned off several times during the evening. You can buy a second number
for additional chances to win or to get back into the game if your original number has already been
drawn.
Each round, the 10 numbers that were drawn are put into another drawing and one of those numbers
is drawn and wins a prize.
The first three numbers drawn receive prizes as well as the last three numbers drawn at the end of
the evening.
This is a great social event for adults to mingle, laugh, play a game, and have a lot of fun raising money for a worthy cause. All funds raised go to the project!
A major target for poetry is students especially high school students.
As a supporter of Poetry in the Schools, we once again donated $1,500 to the Skagit River Poetry Festival.

For more than two-thirds of his life, Doug Jones has been a Rotarian. The 95-year-old Channel Drive resident joined Rotary when he was 31. He has been a Rotarian longer than the 52 years he was married to his late wife Ruth and almost, but not quite, longer than he has been a father.
"Rotary has been a way of life," Jones told an appreciative crowd at the Dec. 18 La Conner Rotary Christmas party, as his 64 years with the service club were celebrated.
President Milliken, oversees a club that gives away about $100,000 annually. Much of it goes to La Conner Schools as scholarships, clothes for the clothes closet, food for the food closet and support for the preschool and the Braves Club. As part of its focus on literacy, the club pays for a book a month for any child under five within the school district registered in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
Rotary is also involved in the development of La Conner's Waterfront Park and gives grants to groups like the Skagit River Poetry Festival, Children of the Valley, and the Anacortes Family Center.
"All of our work is focused on the county, except for our international work in Honduras," Milliken says. Members record 50 to 90 volunteer hours at every Monday meeting as they live out the Rotary slogan, "Service above Self."
