Paris Rotary Club’s annual pie and cake auction was held Thursday evening November 1st as a fun way to raise money for the scholarship program. The evening’s event was well attended with approximately seventy-five Rotarians and their guests in attendance. Not only did the attendees bring their appetites, (dining on delicious crab legs, fresh shrimp, and oysters), they brought their checkbooks as well. Close to $5900 was raised as the bidding for the cakes and pies became spirited with the highest auctioned cake bringing over $600. The event netted out over $2900 for the scholarship program which is an increase of almost a $1000 from the same event last year. Special guests included District Governor Kathyrn Hardman, and Past District Governor John Adams, Christie, and of course Charlie. A special thanks to Rotarians Tom Brannock and Bill T. McConnell for coordinating and conducting this special event.
As a way to continue to serve others, the Paris Rotary Club held a joint meeting with the West Liberty Rotary Club on Saturday, November 10. The Paris Club brought items collected from members to be auctioned to benefit the Morgan Central Elementary School in West Liberty.
