Mike Stiers of Keizer was
the big winner at Rotary Club
of Keizer’s Go for the Gold
raffl e dinner and auction held
Saturday, April 6, at the Keizer
Civic Center.
Each $50 ticket was entered
for the chance to win two
prizes: fi rst prize was $10,000
worth of gold and silver; sec-
ond place was $1,200 in cash.
Skiers won the gold and sil-
ver. Rhonda Brattain, also of
Keizer, won the $1,200 in cash.
Stiers said he had never won
a contest or raffl e before. “It
was a shock,” he said, when his
wife told him had won. “I was
laying in bed, watching televi-
sion, she came in and told me.”
He said he was keeping the
precious metals rather than
cashing them in, as many pre-
vious winners had opted to
do. Stiers said he is hoping the
price of gold and silver rise,
netting more than the original
$10,000 value.
The winning grand prize
ticket was one of two sold to
Stiers and his wife by Rotar-
ian Hank Tarter. The second
prize winning ticket was sold
to Brattain by club member
Danielle Bethell.
Many attendees wore masks
and beads in honor of the
event’s Mardi Gras theme.
Nearly $70,000 was raised
from raffl e tickets and a silent
auction. The net proceeds will
be used to award grants and
to fund Rotary Club projects
in the community as well as
Rotary International projects
throughout the world.
