(Atlantic) The Atlantic Rotary Club would like to announce that the annual Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at the Cass County Community Center. This new date differs from previous ones. The Anita Volunteer Fire Association Dueling Piano event is scheduled for Saturday, November 22, which would have also been the auction date. After some thought, the Rotary Auction Committee decided to move the date of the auction so the two events would not conflict.
The Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction raises funds that are then reinvested back into the community. Those funds have benefited numerous organizations, including the Nishna Valley YMCA, local schools and preschools, the Hospital Foundation, the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, scholarships for high school seniors and Iowa Western students, and many more.
The event will include a dinner, cash bar, silent and live auction, beginning at 5:30 PM. Tickets are $50 each. Tickets can be purchased by contacting a Rotarian or Ted Robinson at First Whitney Bank. All are welcome to attend.
As in the past, a raffle is held in conjunction with the auction. This year, the proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the Atlantic Food Bank for the purchase of a commercial refrigerator/freezer. The tickets are $20 each or six for $100. First-place prize is a 2025 Hustler Raptor XD 54” Mower. The second-place prize is $500, and the third-place prize is $250. See any Rotarian or Food Pantry volunteers for your tickets.
Watch for more information to come as the time gets closer for the events. If you have any questions regarding the Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction, please feel free to contact Dolly Bergmann at 712-249-9275 or Tori Gibson at 712-254-1070.
