Festival of Trees & “Tips for Charity” Luncheon

Thanks to those who attended the Tips for Charity Luncheon on Friday December 11.  It was a great community event with “waiters” including Mayor Colleen Hilton, Councilor Mike Sanphy, Asst City Administrator Bill Baker, Fire Chief Andrew Turcotte, and Sargent Tim Morrell.  Also represented were several area businesses like State Farm and Disability RMS, along with our own Rotary Club.

 

                               

 

Ray Richardson was the capable MC who thanked the crowd for coming.  He also took the time to recognize two WWII vets in the crowd: George Morrill and Jim Born.

 

Proceeds from the Festival and luncheon benefit the Good Samaritan Fund and the Westbrook Food Pantry.  This event raises between $8,000-$10,000 each year and Rotary was proud to participate this year.

 

In addition to a delicious lunch prepared by church members, attendees had a chance to enjoy the 52 trees decorate by a wide variety of local groups and business. WHS Interact club was well represented with a Blue and White themed tree.
