Hackettstown Rotary Club to Hold a “California Dreamin” Paint & Sip Fundraiser on March 11, 2021

Hackettstown, N.J., February 22, 2021 – Looking for a fun night to connect with others and create for a cause? The Hackettstown Rotary Club is holding a fundraiser that shouldn’t be missed!

The Club is holding a “California Dreamin” Paint and Sip Night from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 11, 2021. It is a virtual Zoom event where attendees will learn painting skills and techniques while being guided by a professional artist.  Participants will use the tropics as our muse while painting a palm tree (flier is attached) from the comfort and safety at home. All proceeds will support local charities.

“The Hackettstown Rotary Club held a Harvest Paint and Sip Night in October that was very well attended,” says Laurie Rapisardi, Hackettstown Rotary Club’s President and Hackettstown BID Executive Director.  “The participants had such a great time learning together and creating a beautiful piece of art. We raised $500 for the Himalayan Cataract Project. We hope to raise a bit more this time around, but more importantly, feel the need to hold events like this to promote community connectivity. Encouraging community togetherness even when we cannot physically gather is part of what being a Rotarian is all about.”

The cost is $35 per ticket and the price includes a 16” x 20” canvas, paint and brushes. For those who have their own supplies, tickets can be purchased at $30 for the class only. Participants will be learning from a professional from ART.stitution in Hackettstown. Supplies can be picked up at the Hackettstown BID office by appointment only.  Please schedule a pickup time by calling Laurie Rapisardi at (908) 455-0179.  Materials can be delivered locally upon request.  An easel and smock can be added at checkout at an additional cost.

About Hackettstown Rotary Club

The 1.2 million-member organization started with the vision of one man—Paul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the world’s first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member.

Becoming a Rotarian connects people with a diverse group of professionals who share a drive to give back.  The Hackettstown Rotary Club meets weekly and discusses ways and creates programs to better the community.
