Hog Wild on the Keys (watch the video made by David Blair) was a huge success last week! Over 150 Rotarians and guests gathered to enjoy a delicious whole roasted pig with all the fixings. Linda Eastman’s Sangria Rhapsody was a huge hit, too!
Brian Griffin and his Midwest Dueling Pianos performed to a full house that enjoyed singing, dancing, and laughter. Attendees were able to request songs, a feature that proved very popular.
Sponsors also helped make the fundraiser a success. Our thanks to: Jay & Linda Eastman, Brian Griffin, Tamara Tazzia, Jerry Carvey, George Krozier, Karen Joyce, Ernie Schaefer, Gerald Wanket, Christine Hage, Bryan Barnett, Juliane Morian, Cyndee Andrews, Steve Oehler, Phil Lowman, Joyce Joyce, Shirley Gofrank, Tami Salisbury, Roger Roller, Carol Franciosi, TNE International - Jeff Duperon, Oakland Animal Hospital - Tim Duncan, North Hill Property Management - Greg Schaefer, Health Quest Physical Therapy - Stuart Siegner, and Rochester Numismatics - Christopher Pass.
A special thank you is given to the Committee, including David Blair, Jay & Linda Eastman, Brian Griffin, Karen Joyce, George Krozier, Ernie Schaefer, Peter Stuhlreyer, and Tamara Tazzia, whose hard work raised over $10,000 for the Rotary International Foundation.
