Hey all you chippys and cats, gangsters and gals - thank you! Thank you for such an incredible event this past weekend. We dined, we danced, we laughed, but most importantly, we raised money for Fidalgo Island Rotary. (Wanna see photos? Click here!)

Spring Swing was a roaring success. Between ticket and drink sales, the Dusty Bottle Auction and live auction, our attendees raised more than $31,000 (including $2,120 designated specifically for the Connie Kelley Scholarship.) When we add in additional donations (including those raised on Giving Tuesday) Rotarians and our community raised $37,596.77! WOW! This is the highest net profit from a Fidalgo Island Rotary fundraising event to date!
 
This money will support programs such as providing backpacks for student in Honduras, STEM camp for middle school students, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, the Connie Kelley Vocational Scholarship, medical missions in developing countries and SO MUCH MORE! 
 
We absolutely could not have done this without every single person who helped, donated and attended the event. So THANK YOU for everything you have done! 
 
Special shout outs to: 
- Allen Rhoades at Rockfish/Anacortes Brewing for donating the alcohol (wow!) 
- Bill Rabel for donating the venue 
- Volunteers from Anacortes and La Conner Rotary Clubs 
- Set up, tear down, decoration & auction committees 
- "Officers" Tricia & Tim for not arresting us when they discovered the speakeasy
- Val Tibbetts and Jeannette Papadakis for their indispensable knowledge and support 
 
Didn't get a chance to attend or missed out on bidding? You can still donate here (designate to "Giving Tuesday" or put "Auction 2023" in the comments.)
