MIDDLETON ROTARY CLUB – GOLDMINE TOONIE DRAW
Oct 4, 2022
A Greenwood resident had a great start to her week when she was handed a cheque for $3,111 as the winner of our weekly Rotary Gold Mine 50/50 yesterday. Congratulations to her!
All it takes is a toonie to potentially win $3,100 next week and definitely help your community. Play by Friday at noon.
And thank you to our registrants for playing the Gold Mine 50/50. We have a few suggestions– or ‘Resolutions’– for you in 2022:
1) Resolve to write your number(s) CLEARLY on the toonie sticker or prepay envelope.
2) Resolve to make sure you are playing your CORRECT number(s).
3) Resolve to play every week. ‘You can’t win it if you’re not in it.’
4) Resolve to support our retail vendor locations.
5) Resolve to play before Thursday noon this week because some vendor locations may close early on Friday, New Year’s Eve.
Rotary Club of Middleton is now on Instagram!
Please note: “NS lottery licensing office no longer allows payment by eTransfer. You can pay by toonie, bill, or cheque at any of our 22 vendors from Aylesford to Bridgetown or by mailing a cheque to PO Box 551, Middleton.We appreciate your support through this transition!”
Senior card games! We play every Wednesday at 1pm to 3 pm at the New Minas Fire Hall. Anyone over 50 is welcome. We play crib, 45s, skippo, sequence and other games. We are called Minas 50 plus club!

Hants Community Hospital – main entrance (89 Payzant Dr., Windsor)
