To the editor:
“Brown County Getaway” was the theme for the gift basket that the Rotary Club of Brown County submitted for the silent auction at the Rotary District 6580 Conference held at the Radisson Inn in Clarksville on April 27.
Rotarians and friends from 32 clubs in the southern district attended the conference, and bidding for baskets was enthusiastic. As usual, our basket was popular and garnered a good price.
Thanks to the following businesses for donating gift certificates or items to the gift basket: Artist Colony Inn, Salt Creek Golf Retreat, Out of the Ordinary Restaurant and the Brown County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Also, thanks to Rotarians who contributed items to complete the basket of goodies (wine, coffee, apple butter, candle, skin lotion).
Proceeds from the silent auction benefit the Rotary Foundation, an international, nonprofit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotary members and friends of the foundation who share its vision of world peace and understanding.
