Our First Annual Wine Gala on the Green was a great success! We raised nearly $18,000 to support our Rotary projects in the community. Thanks to all of those that supported our event in one way or another.
We have been blessed for more than 60 years with the support of businesses and professionals in the community, and because of that support, the Canfield Rotary has made substantial improvements to our community.
This fabulous event featured 5 Ohio wineries, music by the Dickey White Band and Canfield Rotary's own Jazz Trio, attendees were provided with a signature event wine glass, some sampling tickets to get started with the option of purchasing more wine by the sample or by the glass, and a catered dinner by Canfield's own AngeNetta's. Cut & Toast was there with their mobile cigar truck. Attendees enjoyed participating in the 50/50, a silent/basket auction, and much, much more.
This year, with Covid under reasonable control, we will be back on the Green for the Lighting of the Green. We are proud that we were able to do this event virtually in 2020, but seeing Santa in person is much better.
The Regional Chamber of Commerce held its semi-annual Canfield meeting (Good Evening Canfield) and surprised its MC, Craig Olson, with the Spirit of Canfield Award. Instead of the traditional award ceremony, Craig was treated to a roast from several of his close friends, including his own son Kip. Craig has been active in the Chamber of Commerce for years and frequently is the MC of their events because of his humor, good-natured kidding, and respect by his peers in the community. 
The Canfield Rotary Club has, for the fifth year in a row, broken the district record for highest per capita giving to the Annual Fund of the Rotary International Foundation. The club's per capita giving was over $785 for 2020-2021, which is more than three time the next highest club in the district. Foundation Chair Randy Swartz set a lofty goal of $40,000, and with his hard work and the generosity of our club members, we far exceeded that goal!
