Our biggest fundraiser of the year has come to an end and although final numbers are not yet in, to date we have raised $29,500!! This is just $500 short of our goal, and other checks may be coming in. All in all, it was a successful fundraising event that will help us fund a variety of humanitarian and philanthropic causes.
Thanks to all the members and Rotary friends who helped to make the fundraiser a success by purchasing items and/or making personal donations. Special thanks to Jim Waite and Jim Bowman who organized and coordinated the event.
Additionally, "Super Contributors" included George Pearce, Jim Bowman and Jim Waite whose combined contributions from friends, relatives and themselves topped the list of contributions. Next were members whose efforts added at least $1000 each to the fundraiser, Frank Cheswick, Ben Chung, Hank Hufnagel, Frank Hussey, Kent Meyers, Debora Morris, Jim Pockross and Heidi Voorhees. Honorable mention to Brian Bradly and Steve Jambor who each added $900 to the total proceeds.
