Annual Rotary Auction starts Friday night, continues Saturday

If you're online Friday or Saturday night, you might come across this year's annual Rotary Auction.

You'll find it at auctionrotary.ca.

The auction, now into its 39th year, starts at 7 p.m. both nights and ends at 11 p.m.

Viewers can bid on hundreds of items donated by local businesses.

This year, the Rotary Club of Windsor and St. Clair raised $81,000 for renovations at Hiatus House.

In past years, funds raised by the auction were used to support a therapeutic greenhouse at Hotel Dieu Grace Healthcare, improvements in Shanfield Shores Park and Lacasse Park, and for the Ganatchio Trail.

The club also funds annual scholarships, fresh produce for food banks, and ongoing environmental initiatives.

So far, the auction has raised $2-milllion to support the club's community service efforts.
