Rotary Gives Ties
To Provide Funds
For Drive
A tie auction was held at
the regular meeting of the
Rotary Club Tuesday at the
Montmartre Inn. Jim Loan
and A1 Nixon were program
chairmen.
A variety of Christmas ties
and other “rainbow-type neck
weai” were worn or presented
to the two auctioneers.
Under the able direction of I
Jules Radinsky, club member, |
and assisted by V.G. Ellis,1
club president, the ties were
auctioned and $186.30 raised j
for the March of Dimes cam
paign.
Some ties, on close examin-1
ation by the purchasers, were;
returned to the auctioneer
and re-auctioned. Apparently
the color combinations were
| too subdued or pronounced
and the purchasers wished to
try again.
Guests attending the auction
and luncheon were Father
Thomas Maher, Wilton White,
John Gibbons, Captain A. J.
Flenniken., Lcdr. J. R.
Gaines.
Prior to the auction the club,
discussed and finally disap-i
proved a suggestion that Ro
tary Club 5533 support a Com
munity Chest Drive.
It was pointed out that in
a community the size of Ko-'
diak it was impractical to have j
only one drive. Many small]
and worthy local organizations
do not receive funds whenj
only one drive is conducted. |
