 A GREAT CHILI BOWL is only part of the fun at each year's Rotary Chili Feast. Music, Fantastic Raffle Prizes including a new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, Drinks and Desserts, Live and Silent Auctions make for a great day with lots of friends and neighbors. A Highlands tradition for over 35 years.

The Sun Shines on The Highlands Rotary Club and annual fundraiser is a huge success netting approximately $70,000 for community projects.

Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Highlands for another successful fundraiser.  Just one day before the event, unusual icy conditions kept people at home and off the roads threatening the event.  E-mails went out to let supporters know that the event was not postponed.  Although it was a cold morning to start, the sun came out and temperatures rose to a balmy 50 degrees...perfect weather for a bowl chili.  Supporters of the club came out in record numbers to show their support for the Highlands Rotary Club  The club netted approximately $70,000 for future projects thanks to sponsorships, raffle ticket sales and a record breaking live auction.

 

There were no special skills required other than a big heart and a willingness to help to others.

Of the things we think, say or do
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
