The Wasilla Noon Rotary Club is thrilled to announce Rotary Uncorked 2023: Peace, Love & Hope, a journey back to the 1970s that promises a blast from the past like no other. This event marks the 14th Annual Rotary Uncorked, and it’s going to be a groovy ride down memory lane at the Menard Center. So, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 7th, as we take a nostalgic trip through the 70s, filled with peace, love, and hope!

The 70s-themed evening will kick off at 6:00 pm and conclude at 9:00 pm, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the iconic rock, pop, and country hits of the era. Get ready to dance to the tunes of legends like Elton John, Willie Nelson, Heart, the Beatles, and more.

Last year’s event was a resounding success, thanks to the incredible support from individuals and organizations alike. Rotary Uncorked is not just a fun night out; it also contributes to vital causes in the community. Funds raised support organizations such as the MyHouse Homeless Teen Center, provide scholarships for graduating Mat-Su High School seniors, and fund various community projects.

And for those looking for some extra excitement, we have thrilling auctions featuring fantastic items up for grabs. You can secure your spot now with reserved tables or individual tickets, available on our website at rotaryuncorked.com. Join us for this groovy trip through the 70s, filled with Peace, Love & Hope!
