Southampton Rotary Club held its annual fundraising auction
Saturday night (Oct. 17) at Chippewa Golf and Country Club in
Saugeen Shores.
The evening, that featured both a regular auction and silent
auction, is a major fundraiser for the organization. Guest
Auctioneer, Ron Luciano, who returns each year to conduct the
auction, said repeatedly throughout the evening that he was amazed
by the generosity of those in attendance.
All the monies raised go toward scholarships for youth and various
community projects. Over the past eight years, the group has raised
$116,000, including this year's event that raised $14,000. According
to the group, both attendance and contributions were up over last

The organization, that fundraises for various local projects, will
be making an announcement at Town Council meeting on Monday, October
