The Rotary Club of Gore Bay is gearing up for its annual fall harvest auction to take place on the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, October 12.
Club president Dave Rogalsky says last year, they raised around $17,000 in the harvest auction with all the proceeds going back into the community.
He says funds go to community members in need of assistance due to medical emergencies or catastrophic loss, student bursaries, local youth activities and leadership skills development opportunities, and community service such as Angel Bus and Manitoulin Family Resources (MFR) Christmas hampers, among others.
The auction is this Saturday, October 12, at the Gore Bay Community Hall, with doors opening at 9 am and the auction starting at 10 am.
Those people that would like to help can contact Jeff Hietkamp at 705-210-9970 or email the club at [email protected].
