Come Eat!

Pancakes, sausage, eggs and fundraising? That’s right! The Bonners Ferry Rotary Club is starting the day off right as they host their annual Free CommUNITY Breakfast and Silent Auction.

Founded in 2002, the local Rotary Club is a big believer in community with a focus on improving literacy, enhancing educational opportunities, and assisting those in need. The Rotarians like to take a part in investing in our future generation, and in the last 13 years they have handed out approximately $100,000.00 in scholarships to area students in an effort to help kids attend further educational opportunities. This money is raised through various fundraising efforts held throughout the year with events such as the annual Kootenai River and WaCanId Bike Rides, the SWISH 3-on-3 basketball tournament, and the CommUNITY Breakfast & Silent Auction.

Community members are invited to come to the Valley Event Center at the Boundary County Fairgrounds on April 23 from 7am to 10am, as the Rotary Club Members serve up a scrumptious breakfast with a number of delicious meal choices for everyone to enjoy. During breakfast, a silent auction will be taking place with several great prizes available to the highest bidder. The funds from the silent auction will be used toward their goal of awarding $15,000 in college and vocational school scholarships to this year’s applicants.

Have a child interested in receiving a scholarship? The application deadline is April 18, 2016 and students are able to download a copy at www.bonnersferryrotary.com.
