2026 Rotary Club of New Castle’s Lottery Calendar Now Available
The Rotary Club of New Castle annual fundraiser calendar is currently available for purchase. The 2026 calendar theme is “Vintage Education and Religion (Year 2)”. For the second year, the calendar focuses on historic schools and religious buildings of New Castle. The Rotary Club of New Castle is grateful to the Lawrence County Historical Society and others for allowing their collection of photos to be used for the calendars.
According to the 1914 New Castle City Directory there were 61 religious organizations including 14 Methodist; nine Presbyterian; seven Roman Catholic; six Missions; five Baptist; three Disciples of Christ; two each Episcopal, Greek Catholic and Spiritualists; and one each Evangelical, Congregational (Welsch), Polish Catholic, Hebrew, Salvation Army and Christian Science. There were also 20 schools listed; 16 public and 4 parochial.
The calendars are numbered from 000-999 and based on the PA official three-digit evening Lottery number. All numbers are played straight as drawn and daily awards are $25.00, except on five bonus days where winners receive between $100 and $500.
