COMMUNITY NEWS Successful Priceless Art Auction returning to Paris next month Rotary Satellite Club of Paris announces 2nd Annual Silent (and penniless) Auction fundraiser slated for February 23 By Casandra Turnbull It’s back by popular demand! The Priceless Art Auction, hosted by the Rotary Satellite Club of Paris, returns to the Wincey Mills next month on February 23. “We had some incredible feedback (from last year), and almost all of the art from last year was acquired by the winning
bidders, so a lot of community service hours were created at our event,” said Dale Hall, a member of the Rotary Satellite Club of Paris. The event is an art auction like no other. Rather than opening your wallet to acquire some fantastic artistic pieces created by local artists, you open your schedule and dedicate volunteer time to a
non-profit organization or group in the community. Once you’ve completed your volunteer hours, the artwork is delivered to you. The only catch is you must volunteer at an organization that you are not already a member of or associated with; otherwise, where you do your time is completely up to you. Continued on page 7
