The Rotary Club of Citrus Heights is having their 28th Annual Crab Feed and Auction at the Citrus Heights Community Center Feb. 13th, 2016. In order to ensure the success of this very important fundraiser, they are seeking contributions to help defray the costs associated with the event, so that all funds raised can go directly toward the community.

Generous donors are the key to their success and make it possible for the Citrus Heights Rotary Club to provide scholarships, dictionaries to third all graders, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, International Youth Exchange Program, and Christmas Food Baskets; also, for the communities changing needs, they have expanded their service efforts to address such pressure issues as illiteracy, children at risk, world hunger, clean drinking water, and environmental degradation.

A major goal for Rotary International is the eradication of Polio around the world. They hope that they can count on your support to help them. Your donation will be listed in their event program, as well as on the event website page.

Each year this event becomes more of a success, last year alone over 750 people attended the Crab Feed. This year they are expecting over 800 attendees and hope to raise over $50,000 dollars. At the event there will be a Silent Auction. They ask you to become a sponsor of the event or donate a live auction item. They always acknowledge gift donors during the event and would also request some advertising literature to accompany your donation to acknowledge your generosity.
