Service Clubs present "Spring into Service" event

Presque Isle and Mapleton - The Presque Isle Rotary Club, Mapleton Lions Club, and Presque Isle Kiwanis Club are joining forces to present "Spring into Service"—a community service event that includes tree planting, painting, and community clean-up work—on Saturday, May 14, from 8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. All community members are invited to take part in this event, which includes a free hot dog lunch at Noon at the Sargent Family Community Center and free tree sapling giveaways for kids.

Presque Isle - As the St. Patrick’s Day basket drawing and auction close draw nears, members of the Presque Isle Rotary Club are reminding community members to buy their Great Big Give Back tickets and place their on-line bids before time runs out. On March 17, 2022, eight lucky winners will each walk away with a gift basket valued at over $1,000, filled with merchandise and gift certificates from local merchants and organizations. That same evening, bids will close for the Great Big Give Back on-line Rotary Auction with over 40 items valued at more than $15,000.

Great Big Give Back is BACK

Tickets for PI Rotary’s Great Big Give Back available as expanded project returns with St. Patrick’s Day drawing set

Presque Isle - The Presque Isle Rotary Club’s Great Big Give Back is back – with a St. Patrick’s Day drawing set for the even more impressive Great Big Basket raffle, and the addition of a big ticket item on-line auction. The project, initiated last fall, was postponed to the New Year after the overwhelmingly positive response and generous outpouring of support by area businesses and organizations had coordinators look to expand the effort and extend the timeline.

The relaunched Great Big Give Back will feature a Great Big Basket raffle of five impressive baskets filled with both purchased and donated gift certificates and merchandise, each valued at almost $2,000. The dollar value of items is nearly double the initially announced $1,000 gift baskets organizers had hoped to promote.

Tremendous response by area businesses
and organizations to PI Rotary’s Great Big Give Back
prompts change in project timeline

Presque Isle - An overwhelmingly positive response and generous outpouring of support by area businesses and organizations to the Presque Isle Rotary Club’s 2020 Great Big Give Back has coordinators looking at expanding their efforts and extending the project timeline.

Rotarians moved forward earlier this fall with their plans to purchase $5,000 in items from businesses and organizations that donated to its largest fundraiser over the past couple of years to create five “Great Big” gift baskets, valued at $1,000 each. Club members had planned to sell tickets on the baskets through mid-November for a drawing to benefit four worthy local causes.
