Rotary suspends Goldmine draw
To support provincial public health and safety efforts to minimize spread of corona virus, The Rotary Club of Montague and Eastern PEI is postponing further weekly draws indefinitely.
“This is not an easy decision, but it is necessary,” says Scott Annear, Chairman of the Rotary Goldmine Committee. “The health and well being of our club members, volunteers, those who play weekly, and our friends and neighbors, is our top priority.”
The Committee will review the decision on a weekly basis, he said.
*THE MARCH 16 DRAW IS HAPPENING AS NORMAL, AND THE RESULTS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE MARCH 18 EASTERN GRAPHIC.
The Rotary Gold Mine is a major contributor to charities, organizations, events and individuals in eastern, PEI with donations totaling more than $7 million since the draw began. “We are a community that supports one another and this is a small step to ease anxiety for all involved. The draw will be back stronger than ever as soon as possible.”
