Happy Valentine's Day! A fun time was had by all at the annual Rotary Youth Exchange Valentine's Day Auction this past Monday. First, Don Snyder recognized two members who have contributed to Rotary by giving out Paul Harris Fellowship Awards. One was to long-standing member Sue Byron (1 Ruby) and the other to new member Nurlan Turdaliev. Thank you for your continued Service Above Self.
Next up: The Youth Exchange Auction. Put on by the Youth Exchange Committee, this event is one that our Club looks forward to every year, and this year was no exception. With Peter Hrastovec and Greg DeHetre as auctioneers, everyone had a great time biding on all different sorts of items; from a beautiful earring and necklace set created by Greg's Ring Weaver Studios to an oak wall clock, a lovely afghan crocheted by Janet Kelly to a waffle maker, a Montreal Canadians Hockey Sweater to sippy cups from Past President Lou Valente's President's Night - and everything in between - there was surely something for everyone's taste. And with all proceeds benefitting our Exchange Students and Host Families, why shop anywhere else?
The Youth Exchange Committee thanks everyone who came out to support this amazing initiative. It was a huge success, with a total of $1831.84 raised.
The Young Rotary Leaders are raising funds for our Centennial Year Scholarship Awards.
Here's how it works:
1) The class is free, but the Young Rotary Leaders are looking to raise funds for a great cause. Come out to a fun, action-packed Boot Camp class. Everyone is welcome (even though the event is taking place at the women's club, men and women alike are encouraged to attend).
2) Don't want to come out to the class, but still want to help out? You can still donate to this amazing initiative.
