2011 Radio-TV Auction: November 28-29-30                

THANKYOU QUESNEL!

After three nights of busy bidding and auctioneering, the 2011 Rotary Radio-TV Auction is in the books...and you have helped us raise $26,000 before costs.

Your support means we can meet our commitment to a donation of $10,000 to the Rotary Hair Salon & Wig Bank project located within the Canadian Cancer Society's Kordyban Cancer Lodge, a regional project valued at $150,000. The remaining funds will be put towards local projects yet to be determined but which will add to the growing list of community.

Before we can do that, however, we need you to collect and pay for your items. All winning bidders will be able to claim their items at Design Flooring, starting Friday December 2nd. For those items not actually at Design, you will receive a receipt for payment from Rotary which you can then take to the donor business. Cash, cheque or money order payable to "Rotary Club of Quesnel" - sorry, the option to pay by credit card is not yet available.

Again, many thanks for your support - to all our donors, bidders, and volunteers - see you next year!

In recognition of great community service...

The Rotary International Theme for 2010-11 was "Building Communities, Bridging Continents" and, in keeping with this theme, Rotary Club of Quesnel recently recognized two of Quesnel's most generous community supporters: McDonalds Restaurants and City Furniture & Appliances. Pictured are Dr John Havens, 2010-11 President of Rotary Club of Quesnel, presenting Leigh Clarke, owner-operator of McDonalds Quesnel, and Jack and Raimi Pannu, owner-operators of City Furniture & Appliances Quesnel, with Rotary Foundation Certificates of Appreciation. In addition, donations of $1000 were made to The Rotary Foundation in the name of each business in recognition of their enduring and generous support of so many local events and activities.
