AND THE WINNER IS...

Rotary Club of Lancaster-Depew President Rob Benzel and honorary member Doris Huber had the pleasure of delivering the Baby of Liberty Doll to the lovely home of Dr. Jim Burdick, our Area 11 raffle winner.  The donated doll was designed and produced by Doris Huber.  Proceeds of the raffle go to the It Happened to Alexa Foundation, which benefits women that have been sexually abused.  The clubs joined together for an Area 11 project that ended up creating over 200 clothing and cleanup kits for donation to ECMC.  Shown in the photograph are Dr. Burdick and Doris.  Photo by: Rob Benzel.
 
In other news, the club is pleased to give five college scholarships this year:  four go to Lancaster High School graduating seniors and one to a graduate of Depew High School.  Early on scholarships were in the form of Interest Free Loans.  However in 1959, they transformed into the present grant form.  Therefore, this marks the 60th year that Rotary Club of Lancaster-Depew has given back to the community this way.
