Our annual Rotary Family Day at the Ball Park is June 26 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Our game time is 1:10 p.m. and will feature another exciting match up of the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals. I started with 1500 tickets for Rotarians in District 6460 to sell, and at our June 20 club meeting, I reported that there are only about 38 left to sell. On May 1, ticket prices increased, but tickets are still a bargain at $55 each. Buy your tickets today, if you have not already done so. To purchase tickets now, click on Ticket Order Form or download this form from the download files section on our website homepage (www.spirotary.org). Remember that there are only about 38 tickets left to buy so please contact me right away (rotaryrod@comcast.net) if you need tickets. The roundtrip bus I arranged for is full so if you did not already reserve your bus seat, you will have to find your own way to the game. For those who did reserve bus seats, the article below provides information on the departure time and location.  
 
Thanks to all the Rotarians who have sold tickets to friends, neighbors, relatives, colleagues, or anyone who would enjoy a great baseball game and the opportunity to support literacy projects. Proceeds from ticket sales support District 6460's Literacy Grant Program that funds projects proposed by clubs in our district. Our annual game has raised over one-half million dollars over the past 19 years for helping children and adults gain literacy skills within our Rotary Communities.
