Rotary Club, Friendly’s raise money for shopping spree

The Dallas Rotary Club and Friendly’s in Dallas joined forces recently to host a tasty fundraising event. More than $900 was raised that evening through a donation from the store and additional donations from their customers. The funds will benefit the annual Rotary Christmas Shopping Spree in early December for 45 less fortunate children in the Back Mountain area. Fifteen children from Dallas, 15 from Lake-Lehman and 15 from Northwest School Districts will take part in the 45th annual shopping spree event. From left, are Sandy Peoples, Rotary club president; Melissa Saxon, club board member; Todd Buckley, club board member; Anna Mitchell, Friendly’s general manager; Angie Watkins, store assistant manager; Paul Saxon, club president-elect.
