Recap: Fundraiser, Oct. 22
We didn’t have a meeting last week, due to our Thursday evening fundraiser event, which was a great time! Attendees tasted Old World wines, led by the sommelier from Wahoo! Wine and Provisions, followed by Latin dance instruction and actual dancing!
Thanks to all who supported the fundraiser, which helps us to pay for our grant program, Rotary Youth Exchange, and several other programs that benefit youth and our community at large.
