The
traditional gathering of the MDI Rotary during the holiday season offers us
a wonderful opportunity to have fun as well as support one of our community's
non-profits. Proceeds from the auction are dedicated to benefit organizations
that support and/or enhance literacy in our community. Each member Rotarian
donates prizes to be auctioned off at an evening dinner party. It may be a
home cooked dinner for six, a yummy cheesecake, a work of art, a hand knit
sweater or a ride on a watercraft. We find this pleasant evening socializing
with club members,family and friends brings out the spirit of giving in all
of us. Previous recipients of Holiday Auction Dollars have been Downeast Horizons,
MDI YWCA, The Downeast Safe Family Exchange, and our local Library Jesup Memorial.
Won't you join us next year and start your holiday celebrations with the MDI
Rotary?
