William Gray wins 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle

Posted by Jon F. Nivus on Jun 16, 2013

 

William Gray of Gilford, NH was the lucky winner of the 2013 Charity Raffle of the Laconia Rotary Club.  Mr. Gray won a Hertitage Softtail Classic in the drawing done on June 16, 2013.  Mr. Gray had a good weekend, since his birthday was on Saturday and Father's Day and winning the bike was on Sunday.  After receiving the call about the drawing, Mr. Gray came to the Weirs to inspect his new motorcycle.  He currently has a motorcycle, but this will be a nice replacement.  Mr. Gray purchased his tickets at the officer of P. K. Shetty, M.D., about a month ago.

Pictured is John Moriarty, President of Laconia Rotary Club congratulating Mr. Gray on winning the motorcycle.

Thanks to all who purchased raffle tickets and good luck next year.  Your purchases enable the Laconia Rotary Club to make significant contributions to the youth and elderly of Laconia and support the work of the Rotary International Foundation throughout the world, and in particular the eradication of polio.
