Read MoreVacation Raffle Benefits CART
Dean Lutz, long time Lincolnton (NC) Rotarian and dedicated supporter of CART, has served as his club’s CART chair for several years. He and his wife own a beautiful mountain home in Blowing Rock, NC. It’s not rented out, they keep it available only for family and occasional visits with friends. He recently offered a two night/three day weekend stay to be used in a raffle to help the RC of Lincolnton (NC-D7670) reach their goal of $1,000.
