Last Saturday, November 19th, over 100 Rotarians and friends attended our D7390 Rotary Foundation dinner. This annual event is a chance to celebrate the Rotary Foundation and all the service projects conducted and contributions given by our clubs and members in the previous Rotary year. Held this year at the beautiful Eden Resort in Lancaster, we had a wonderful location and a great meal for our celebration. From the Youth Exchange students Parade of Flags to open our celebration, through the presentations of high impact service projects and a fun live auction, to the club award recognitions at the finale, it was a showcase of the outstanding service work and foundation giving in our district. Thank you to all who attended for making it a superb evening.
