The nitty-gritty results
Congratulations on a successful 24th annual fundraising event for Rotary! We served turkey dinners to 294 people dine-in and 343 carry-out for a total of 637 dinners last night!
A Message from Nancy Rash, Turkey Dinner Chairperson
"I would like to make note of everyone's contribution but do not want to forget anyone so, Thank You Rotary Members! It takes the entire club to deliver the annual Turkey Dinner and I appreciated the great attendance from members and the willingness to take on jobs as asked. New members participated and were impressive! Thank you to family members that also helped on Monday. We will ask for comments and suggestions for improvements at a later reporting date."
Also, it was close, but Bob Ruppert again was the top seller of Turkey Dinner tickets with way over 100. For that level of ticket sales, Bob can choose a prize between an ice skating party for him and 3 friends, a hunting slingshot, or a bike helmet.
