I am a member of the Rotary Club of Placencia, and we are running a raffle, the winner of which will win an amazing trip to Belize! We’ll pay for your round trip air fare from Miami or Houston, and once in Belize, you’ll stay first at a resort on Ambergris Caye (Key), the most developed resort area in the country. Your stay there will include First Class accommodations, golf cart rental, and a snorkeling trip out to the barrier reef. The biggest barrier reef in the western hemisphere is off the coast of Belize, and should not be missed!
From there you’ll go to a resort in the Cayo District, in a jungle setting in the Maya Mountains. You’ll enjoy a side trip to the important Myan ruin at Xunantunich, and have a full spa treatment at the resort.
After several nights there you’ll come to our home village of Placencia, where the laid back atmosphere and friendly people might make you cancel your trip home! You’ll have a trip to the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a Jaguar Preserve, where at the end of a hike through the jungle you can take a dip in a pool of cool, crystal clear water at the foot of a waterfall. Or, you may have enjoyed that snorkeling trip the week before, and want to do it again, but this time from Placencia. We would love to have you join us at our weekly meeting at Yoli's Restaurant over the water on Tuesday at noon!
You’ll receive a $100 USD food allowance so that you can eat at the wonderful restaurants we have – and here in Placencia that includes Austrian, Italian, French and Belgian cuisine!
The prize does not include souvenirs, your departure fee at the airport, and your other minor expenses. It does include transportation in the country, your accommodations at three First Class Resorts, and a real chance to visit what is called The Jewel for ten days. The prize is for two people, and there are no blackout dates!
How do you get in the game? What are the resorts? How does it work? Go to our Rotary Club’s website at www.rotaryclubofplacencia.org and click on the raffle tab. We are only selling 500 tickets, and they are $50 each. We will hold the raffle when 500 tickets are sold.
The proceeds that are not used for your trip will be of great help to us in furthering our goals!

Of course I realize you're on island time, but I bought a raffle ticket yesterday & haven't gotten my confirmation yet. No problems, but I always get a little nervous with my credit card info out in the wilderness somewhere. Enjoy your blog very much!
Hi Rich, Our system doesn't have an auto-response when a person buys a ticket, and the Rotarian who receives the notification has been away from her computer for several days. I expect you'll receive a notification this weekend, if you haven't already. Thasnks for buying a ticket,and Good Luck!

Hi I have also purchased aticket and have not received any notification on my purchase and can up update on how many have sold thus far/ Thanks Lisa G
Hi Lisa,
The easy, and fun explanation would be that we're in the slow lane here, so it takes a while to process. Actually, Sandi, who processes them, recently moved, and her internet access hasn't been set up yet. She's hoping to be on line again by the end of the day tomorrow. If you haven't heard from her by Friday, send me an e-mail at carlinbelize@gmail.com. We originally hoped to sell 1000 tickets, but scaled back to 500 because of slow sales. I think we are at about 300 at this point. It is a fabulous prize!
