 The Crab Feed

 

Chris Hatch thanked all the Durham Rotarians for supporting the Crab Feed.  The net income was around $11,500.  The gross income was $22,207.  339 tickets were sold and 315 dinners were served.  Chris estimated that we raised $2,000 more than a year ago at the Crab Feed.  The silent auction netted $4,500.   Chris suggested that Durham Rotarians host a BBQ at the Park for the Interact members to thank them for all the help they provided at the Crab Feed.

President Ryan explained that the picture of the baby being feed a can of beer that appeared in the “Rowel” was not his baby.  The picture of the baby with its grandmother was his baby.
