The Princeton Rotary Club held its annual Christmas Party Thursday night, accompanied by its traditional fundraiser and toy drive.
Members of the Rotary Club came together to enjoy a delicious meal, indulge in desserts, and share lots of laughs during their silent auction. The purpose of this event was to raise funds that will go back into the community.
According to Rotarian Shane Fortner the chairman of the Christmas party, the silent auction successfully raised over $1,000 that will contribute to the club’s efforts in supporting the community.
Fortner explained that he became familiar with the Build a Bed program when he was a member of the Madisonville Rotary Club.
