Hi to my Rotary friends on Orcas! I thought I would share our fun auction that we are doing for our fundraiser this year. I don't know what ya'll are up to there, but this site works well and it is not expensive to have them host the auction. Feel Free to bid, however, I thought I would share as one small club to another! We have been meeting on Zoom for almost a year now and are hoping to have in person meetings starting in April. Take care! Your Rotary Friend, Julie Collison with Parkland Spanaway Rotary Club.

Silent auction 'Surrender the B***y Bash' hosted online at 32auctions.
