(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Rotary Club has announced that the annual Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at the Cass County Community Center. Rotary officials say this may look like a different time than it has been held in the past, because it is. The Anita Volunteer Fire Association Dueling Piano event will be on Saturday, November 22^nd which would have also been the auction date. After some thought the Rotary Auction Committee made the decision to move the date of the auction so the two events would not conflict.

The Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction raises funds that are then reinvested back into the community. Those funds have benefited such organizations as the Nishna Valley YMCA, the schools, the preschools, the Hospital Foundation, the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, scholarships for high school seniors and Iowa Western students, and many more organizations.

The event will include a dinner, cash bar, silent and live auction, beginning at 5:30 PM. Tickets are $50 each. Tickets can be purchased by contacting a Rotarian or Ted Robinson at First Whitney Bank. All are welcome to attend.

As in the past a raffle is held in conjunction with the auction. This year the proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the Atlantic Food Bank for the purchase of a commercial refrigerator/freezer. The tickets are $20 each or 6 for $100. First place prize is a 2025 Hustler Raptor XD 54” Mower. Second place prize is $500 and third place prize being $250. See any Rotarian or Food Pantry volunteers for your tickets.

So, get your calendar out and put both of these events on it. Watch for more information to come as the time gets closer for the events. If you have any questions regarding the Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction please feel free to contact Dolly Bergmann, 712-249-9275 or Tori Gibson, 712-254-1070.
