The Alliance RotaryClub has three
major
fundraisers annually. They include the Labor Day 10k Race, the Vegas Night and the Fly the Flag
Project.
Labor Day 10k Race
The
Alliance Rotary Castle Run began in 2006. It consists of
both a 10k run and a 1 mile run. The races take place on a USAT
certified course through the city of Alliance and finishes at historic
Glamorgan Castle. Most of the participants consider it a
moderately challenging but beautiful course. In 2007 there were a
total of 275 participants. The majority of participants were
runners but there were also several walkers who are more than
welcome. Race fees for 2008 will be $20.00 in advance or $25.00 on
the day of the race with all of the proceeds going to the various
projects Rotary does in the community.
Vegas Night
The Vegas Night began in May of
1995. It is held on a Saturday evening annually in the spring. It is held

Fly the
Flag
Project
The Fly the Flag
Project
began in May of 2003. It is a service in which Alliance
citizens can have flags flown at their residence during the Memorial
Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Veteran's Day holidays.
Currently more that 1300 flags are flown by subscribers on each holiday.
The Alliance Rotary Club is assisted by area Scouts and other
organizations in
placing and removing flags during those holidays.
