(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Rotary Club Charity Dinner and Auction scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2025 at the Cass County Community Center has auction items coming in daily. Rotary officials says there are some unique items, including autographed memorabilia from Zach Johnson (pro golfer from Iowa), Jan Jensen (Iowa Women’s Basketball Coach). Another special item is a private basketball coaching session with Atlantic native Ryan Hawkins.

If you are curious about those large cranes, you will have an opportunity to learn from Shawn Sarsfield with Cheqed It. Looking to update the décor in your home? How about a great patriotic picture, that features a combine and the bean field from Atlantic Ag and Auto?

There are many more great items available in both the live and silent auction.

The Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction raises funds that are then reinvested back into the community. These funds have benefited organizations such as the Nishna Valley YMCA, local schools and preschools, the Hospital Foundation, the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as scholarships for high school seniors and Iowa Western students, among many others. The event will include a dinner, cash bar, silent and live auction, beginning at 5:30 PM. Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased by contacting any 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, proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the Atlantic Food Bank for the purchase of a commercial refrigerator/freezer. Tickets are $20 each or 6 for $100.
