Thanks to all the volunteers who helped raise money through the Eagle Stadium concession stand on October 22. Not only did members show up in force but they brought family members along to help pop popcorn, wrap hot dogs and serve hundreds (maybe thousands) of soft drinks. The concession stand showed over $25,000 in revenue meaning that the Rotary Club(s) earned a total of $2,545.66 Based on the number of volunteers, the noon club earned $1,934 and the Sunrise Club earned $610. That was about $100 per volunteer. GREAT JOB everyone.
