Thanks so much to everyone for your donations. The silent auction raised $711! You guys are amazing! I went shopping ans we ended up with close to 70 toys overall! My lobby was completely full! We split the toys between Toys for Tots and the Roanoke Storehouse. They were so excited to hear of Rotary's generous donation. It warms my heart to think of all the excited giggles and happy dances that happened on Christmas morning thanks to all of you ;) Nikki Thornton |

El Limonal is located on the outskirts of the city of Chinandega, Nicaragua. The area is known as the triangle of death, because it is surrounded by the sewer system of Chinandega, the city dump and a large graveyard. It is septic and dangerous. We are helping the children that live in this area. In 2010, the funds raised from the sale of the pine needle baskets were used to build a feeding center in El Limonal that will feed over 200 children several days a week. With your donations and the guidance of our brothers and sisters in the Chinandega Rotary – we will fund a new kindergarden in El Limonal in 2011 .

From hors d'oeuvres to dessert, the Brio restaurant in Southlake, created an elegant atmosphere of celebration. The festivities included many thanks to those who have faithfully served throughout the 2009-2010 year. With a long and healthy list of accomplishments, each award was highly deserved. |
