Club Meeting of October 29

The club meeting on October 29th was the Barberton Rotary Foundation Annual Reverse Raffle. The 2015 theme was Fall Fantasy and the event was held at Guy's Party Center. Guests were encouraged to wear the jerseys or sports wear of their favorite team. As the event was near Halloween guests enjoyed treats in addition to Guy's hors d'oevres. The Reverse Raffle & Silent Auction is one of two major fund raising events of the Barberton Rotary Foundation. The other event is the Royal H Wood Memorial Golf Outing held in May.
