Program

Pigs ‘r Us
The weighing committee consisted of Ken H., Tom B., Jeff P., and Frank Loner.  It was disappointing that only 13 members participated in the pig savings contest.

Although Tom Buck’s pigs weighed the most and had the most money, he shared his prizes with Kye, who had the second heaviest pig.  A total of $436.76 was collected for our 501C3 foundation.  Congratulations, but imagine what we could have collected if everyone had participated.  Please realize that this is an on-going project.  Please continue to fill your PIGS!!

MARBLES

Mark G. had his number drawn.  Needless to say, he drew the blue marble, the only one left, and pocketed a cool $1642.00.  Way to go Mark and way to go Centennial Rotary Club.  During Roxy’s year, the 50/50 (Marble game) has raised close to $2000. 

IMAGINE HOW MUCH GOOD THAT MONEY WILL DO IN OUR COMMUNITY!!!
