Newport Rotary Club Collects Prizes for Penny Sale

Newport — Members of the Newport Rotary Club are collecting prizes from area businesses that will be raffled during the eighth annual Penny Sale, to be held on Saturday, May 12, at the Newport Middle High School Gym beginning at 5:30 p.m.

“The business community has very generously supported our penny sales in the past by donating prizes that draw a sizable crowd and this year will be no exception,” Bruce Jasper, chairman of the event, said in a news release.

During the event, the Rotary Club will raffle more than 300 prizes, and two cash prizes of $1,000 and $500. Raffle tickets are $1 each, or $20 for 25 tickets. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Newport Senior Center Building Renovation project and a Teacher Mini Grant project run by the Rotary, as well as other Rotary events.
