Mark your calendars, and save the date for Sugar Land Rotary’s ShrimpFest 2009 on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 5 p.m in the Fluor building complex
in Sugar Land.
“ShrimpFest is a community gathering for the entire family. The food and
fellowship are great, but the impact you can make for our community is even
greater,
” said Dan Green, Sugar Land Rotary president.
All proceeds from the event will benefit Sugar Land Rotary charities. Food will
be served until 7:30 p.m., and the live auction will begin at 8 p.m.
There’s an exciting drawing for the Shrimpfest Raffle prizes. The Grand Prize is a

every 25th ticket is drawn, a $100 prize will be given to the ticket holder.
Raffle tickets are $100 each and come with two meal tickets. Raffle tickets can
be purchased from any Sugar Land Rotarian.
“We want to continue the legacy of excellence Sugar Land Rotary has maintained
for over two decades through giving back to our community, state, nation and

” said ShrimpFest Chair Jared Jameson.
