October 24th is the date for our signature rotary event in 2015.  This event is what provides the means to complete the amazing projects that help at risk youth both in our community and abroad.  We are proud to be able to put together an event that is unique to Cedar Rapids and raises funds to allow us to do such great things. Without it, we would have to find another way to raise money for our international exchange program, various projects at Metro High and the CR Boys and Girls Club, and the work we have done for children in Africa.
 
The event is an adult only Halloween party themed as Zombie Prom and goes from 8pm-12am. This year we are doing a celebrity theme, so people are encouraged to dress as a Zombified celebrity, however it is not required and we would love to have anyone attend who just wants to come be a part of a night of giving.  There will be music, dancing, food and drink, a make up artist, games, a photo booth, and a Zombie Queen and King contest.  
 
I have heard great feedback on the last two events.  People really love that we are doing something different.  We grew from 200 people to 300 from year one to year two, and intend on taking that up another 100 this year.  We have a great committee that meets every month and works very well together to be sure this event runs smoothly. Everything from decorations to fundraising it taken care of by fabulous individuals willing to put their time and effort into making this a great event so we can support our community.
