The Taste of the Town fundraiser took place on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. The annual event does help the club raise money so that we can support the areas we serve.Ten different eateries took part in the event. A decent selection of food was brought by the establishments, and a few of them were able to donate gift cards as door prizes. The occasion was a huge success. The club has made the decision to hold this event as a long-term one. We were allowed to use, wash, and return the tablecloths that the high school donated. We were able to segregate the garbage items and the dishes and utensils were made of sustainable materials. The entertainment was Mike Gacek, which everyone enjoyed
The Rotary Club believed that hosting a celebration that exemplifies sustainability was an essential way for us to give back to the community. Traditionally, balloons served as the centerpieces for this event, but this year we chose to use more environmentally friendly decorations, such as a tiny pumpkin, leaf decorations, and some twinkling lights that also showed how sustainable it is to reuse. The pumpkins that were available for everyone to take home as souvenirs were a hit. Additionally, it was less expensive for us to host the event.We are looking forward to hosting this event annually and have more ways to show our sustainability for the community.
