The Rotary Club of Wilmette Harbor is conducting its annual Holiday Sale and Raffle Fundraiser. One of the raffle prizes will be $500 to be used to purchase any piece of artwork created by a Cornelia Arts Building artist. It can be used as payment in full for artwork selling for $500 or less or as partial payment for artwork selling for more. Another prize is a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona, this winter. And there’s more. If you want to participate in this opportunity, please continue. The drawing will be conducted on December 8, 2021. You need not be present.
