Announcements
It was a very special moment when Ethan and Austin DeBord were recognized for creating their business “Cookies For Covid.” The business was introduced to everyone through their YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZSoKQVjtvM). The boys sold their Nonny's (Diane Snyder DeBord) famous, homemade, Chocolate Chip Cookies! A portion of each sale was donated to a local business that was negatively affected by Covid. The boys presented a check for $1,000 to Rotary. Each boy was presented a Rotary Certificate of Recognition, a club banner, and a "Sally," the Sally Bures Service Above Self - Pass It Forward - Award.
