Rotary Turkey Dinner, Biz & Industry Day

Serving the community and working together as a team are what makes our annual Rotary Turkey Dinner such a special event. This year, Rotary netted about $4,500 that will be used to fund local projects and scholarships.

Thanks to all the Rotarians, kids of Rotarians, pie bakers, and the United Methodist Church for allowing us to your their facilities.

Tough to keep the kids off their phones while they're on the clock

Rotarian kids love to come in to help dry silverware, and listen to Mostek stories

All laughs in the serving line
