5th annual all-club Thanksgiving Luncheon - November 23, 2010

Columbia Rotary Club members gathered with members of all other Columbia Rotary Clubs in the Tiger Hotel Ballroom on November 23, 2010 for the fifth annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. Our club had a contingent of 42 present out of a total of 170 attending. The event promotes fellowship among the clubs and raises money for a worthy project. The proceeds this year went to the Food Bank's "Buddy Pack" program, which provides nutritious food for children over weekends and holidays. A final tally is not yet available, but the auction alone brought in $3,810, an increase in auction proceeds of more than $1,000 compared with last year. The photos below were taken at the luncheon.
