The Jacksonville Applegate Rotary Club will hold its 5th-Annual Salmon Bake at Hanley Farm on September 14. As in past years, this fundraiser supports Rotary’s clean water projects around the world. Our projects have dramatically improved public health and reduced infant mortality rates in impoverished areas of the world. This November, a team of volunteers from our Jacksonville club will travel to Guatemala to provide water filters to outlying villages deeply in-need of clean water. Our family-friendly Salmon bake begins at 5:00pm. Tickets cost $25 and include a live band, a short auction, a wine raffle, and a delicious grilled salmon dinner catered by Jacksonville Inn, Bella Union, and the South Medford High School Interact Club. Local beers and wines will be available at a cash-only bar. Please join us for a fun evening! To purchase tickets, email campanella2003@gmail.com.
As another fundraiser, our club will participate in the Jacksonville City-Wide Yard Sale in September. All proceeds will support our community service projects and student scholarships. For example, this year we are again providing funds to send three local high school students to the annual Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, which strives to nurture leadership qualities among participants. This is a life-changing opportunity. So, during the Yard Sale, visit us at Judi Johnson’s State Farm Insurance building on 5th Street. As always, we thank you for supporting our club’s efforts to keep the Jacksonville-Applegate community a special place to live, work, and recreate!
