Now you have your chance. Thanks to the Rotary Club of Beijing and its Rotary Ball of 31 May (see earlier entry with full details).
As you know tickets to the Olympic Games Closing Ceremonies are close to impossible to get at the moment but through the extraordinary efforts of Rtn. Vlad Reyes, Hilton Hotels and the incredible generosity of the USOC, two tickets to the Closing Ceremonies have been donated to help raise funds and awareness of the needs of earth quake survivors. This extraordinary donation will be available through a Private Auction to be held at 8:30 at the Hilton Infinity Ballroom on May 31. The event is the annual 2008 Rotary Club of Beijing Ball and you must be on the list to attend. Those who are not already coming who are interested in bidding should contact Einar Tangen, 135-0110-1228 or ehtangen@yahoo.com to make arrangements.
This is an opportunity for corporations or individuals to show their support for the Chinese people who were affected by these tragic events. The winner will be congratulated personally by the Rotary International President-elect who will be presiding over the auction.
