Bigfork Rotary Club Receives Large Donation
Rotary Club of Bigfork President Serena Keller said with the help of Rick Janisse and other club members, $10,000 in cash has been donated to the Rotary, as well as a 22 V Tunnel Legend boat from an anonymous donor. Keller said the boat is currently valued at $25,000 and will be sold at auction in the spring. She said a portion of the cash donation will go towards fixing minor repairs on the boat, which will be repaired and stored for the winter. She said the rest of the cash donation will be used to support the Rotary’s Backpack program, or other similar programs that provide food to children, as requested by the donor.
