It was a happy evening on February 6, 2020, at the Grimsby Museum when Rotarians presented the proceeds from one of their major fundraisers' Fantasy of Trees. The Mayor of Grimsby Jeff Jordan, Rotarians, Community Charitable Representatives, and special guests were in attendance as monetary donations were given to 11 charitable organizations within the Grimsby area from the club's raffle proceeds of $17,000.00
Appreciation was expressed to Rotarian Marilyn Cornwell, Chair for the second year of the
