Rotarians and guests attended the premier of more than 50 “petite” butterflies designed by local artisans. These butterflies will be sold via silent auction on line and at the Rotary Club Social and Silent Auction on September 7th from 4:30-7:30 at the Antlers Hotel. Money raised goes to the Rotary Service Fund and School District 11 Arts and Science Programs.

Rotarian helpers -- Juliana Howard, Jody Richie,

Laura Nonte, Caryn Adams, and George Ehnert

plus two of our "petite" butterflies on display

If you were not able to join us for the reception on August 3rd, you can enjoy the beautiful butterflies at the Cultural Office during normal business hours throughout the month of August. Then, be sure to join us for the Rotary Social and Silent Auction on September 7th at the Antlers Hotel.

Two "non-petite" butterflies - "Simply Complicated" a large butterfly by Laurel Bahe and "The Golden Globe" a smaller butterfly by Tuesday Doyle will be available via raffle at the event.  Purchase your Raffle tickets from any Rotarian for $10. You can mark on the raffle ticket which one you'd like.
