Donations Jackpot

Because the Putnam Rotary Club's golf tournament was so successful, the club had extra money left in the 2014-2015 year. So 2014-2015 President Rande Chmura decided to make additional donations to several local groups.  At the Aug. 4 Putnam Rotary Club meeting, Chmura made the donations to, left to right: Sue Desrosiers accepted $1,000 for the Arc Quinebaug Valley. The Community Cafe was awarded $1,000 and Kathi Peterson also accepted $1,400 for Daily Bread.  Putnam Police Deputy Chief Leonel Konicki collected $500 for DARE. Romeo Blackmar accepted $500 for Putnam PRIDE and Thomas Harney accepted $1,000 for the QVCC  Foundation. Linda Lemmon photos.
