The Haliburton Highlands Rotaract Club held a yard and bake sale in West Guilford Aug. 24. Items included a towel heater, old books for $1 each, lamps, kitchen appliances, works of art and children’s books.
There was also popcorn and coffee, along with cookies and baked breads for purchase.
All proceeds support Rotaract initiatives in the community. Rotaract brings people ages 18-plus together to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service.
The people that are part of Rotaract are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, all while getting to make friends from around the world, the local group says.
One of the initiatives Rotaract takes part in is the Helping Hampers program, which provides baskets of essential goods to families. The baskets can include school supplies, food, and other essential items.
Rotaract has also collaborated with Hook, Line and Sinker in Haliburton on concert partnerships. Doing these types of events allows Rotaract to not only raise money, but spread the word about what they’re doing in the community.
