CHILI SUPPER BREAKS RECORDS
53RD RADIO-TELETHON HAPPENS NEXT WEEK
The 19th annual Chili Supper held by the Hillsboro Rotary Club as part of the 53rd Annual Ernie Blankenship Radio-Telethon for the benefit of the Highland County Society for Children and Adults was a record breaking event. Rotarians served 134 meals and the dessert auction raised an additional $7,125 for 46 desserts donated by Rotarians, board members of the Highland Society, staff and employees of this year’s host bank, Southern Hills Community Bank and others. Eighteen gallons of Chili were served.
Prior to the dessert auction, poster representative Jennifer Heglund and Dorothy Walke, mother of the poster child, Lukas Walker addressed the overflow crowd describing their experiences and the assistance that the Society gave them for medical expenses. Approximately 23 members of the Hillsboro Rotary Club were in attendance along with numerous officers and employees of Southern Hills Community Bank. Contingents from Merchants National Bank, NCB Bank, First State Bank and Peoples Bank were also present to support the event and donated as well as purchased numerous dessert items. The Hillsboro Altrusa Club members appeared as a group prior to their regular meeting.
The Hillsboro Rotary Club extends its thanks to the Hillsboro VFW and Manual Cole, who prepared the mild chili, Rotarian Rob Moots who prepared the hot chili, Highland District Hospital for donating corn bread muffins and Uncrustables for the meal, Chad Abbott for donating the tickets, Rick Williams for his entertaining auctioneering, and all of those who baked and donated desserts and attended the dinner.
