CommUNITY Breakfast best yet |
October 2, 2012 |
The 10th Annual CommUNITY Breakfast & Silent
Auction is now history. Linda Alt, coordinator
of the event, thanked all who participated in
making this year one of the best ever. Together, the Badger Boosters and the Bonners Ferry High School Dance Team helped Rotary to realize net proceeds from the event of approximately $2,600.00 generated through donations and the more than eight tables of silent auction items. For the first time, 100% of the proceeds have been earmarked for college and vocational school scholarships for local students. As is our custom, Rotary donated $500.00 to the Badger Boosters who cooked and served the food. The CommUNITY Breakfast & Silent Auction is just that – a free breakfast for anyone who wants to stop by for a chance to socialize with family, friends and neighbors with the opportunity to bid on a variety of silent auction items. This year, instead of a scoop or two of scrambled eggs, the epicurean delights consisted of breakfast burritos, a definite hit with the crowd. Rotarian Marciavee Cossette commented that she thought there appeared to be lots more horticulture this year for auction and that everything that was placed on the auction tables was provided from the local community. Thanks also is extended to Super1, Safeway and Akins Harvest Foods for their donations. |
