Harvest Fly-In 2010
The Harvest Fly-In, Walk-In, Drive-In BBQ was a great success!
With plane rides, raffles, a pumpkin toss and good food and fellowship for all, funds were raised to help support Literacy here in Rosamond through the Rosamond Adult literacy program and the Rosamond Reading Ribbons for the local Elementary schools.
A letter of appreciation from a fellow Rotarian
It was a pleasure meeting you and the Rotarians from Rosamond. You have such an energetic Club and trust your fund raiser was the first of many successful ones in the years ahead. Should you decide to do this again, I look forward to bringing more IFFR members. Often we are looking for a reason to fly, especially on Rotary “business”. We post our events on www.iffr.org
Yours in Rotary and safe travels,
Peter More
