the Races,” a unique fundraiser presented by the Los Olivos Rotary Club on Saturday,
February 7 from 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm at St. Mark’s in the Valley located in

This
fun-filled evening kicks off with cocktails and hearty hors d’oeuvres while
attendees have an opportunity to select their winning horse for the betting to
follow. Then pre-recorded races begin, and the horses are off and running. Racing “fever” ensues, and the excitement
runs high.
Once the
races have concluded, special prizes will be given to the three attendees who
end up winning the most “funny money.”
In true
horse race spirit, attendees are encouraged to come dressed for the races. The
most unique Kentucky Derby style hat will be awarded a prize. There may be a
few other “surprises” as well for special racing enthusiasts.
Tickets are $100 and include drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and “funny money” for betting. Tickets are available at www.losolivosrotary.org
All proceeds from “A
Winter’s Night at the Races” will fund the Los Olivos Rotary Club’s
projects for deserving nonprofit organizations in need.
