Silent Auction Needs Donations

First of all I would like to thank all Rotary members that have already contacted me, Daniel Crupi or
Grant Sigmon about making a donation for the Silent Auction. The Gala is just around the corner, and we
currently have about half of the donations we would like to provide at the Gala. Please consider a donation of
an item of worth, service or vacation home. To give you some ideas about what to donate, here are a few of the great items that have been donated
so far.
