If you weren’t able to donate a big auction board item, you can donate something $25 or less to the country store. Whether you’re donating or buying, the country store will enable those hit by the financial crisis to contribute to the Rotary Auction.
If you are looking for delicious snacks, a fun toy for the kids or useful things for your home you can find them at the Rotary Radio Auction’s great Country Store and Soda Fountain.  Ginger’s plan is to make the Country Store something new and fun for everyone to enjoy.   Stop by, no bidding required, everything will be priced to sell and while you’re at it,  pick up a bag of pop corn and a cold drink at the Soda Fountain.
The Country Store will be open 5pm -9 pm, every night, April 11 through April 15 and located inside the Cadiz Baptist Annex, downtown Main Street, across from the Bank of Cadiz.  Rotary also has a new website up and running so, you can look at some of the items for sale.

The auction is the only fundraiser of the Rotary Club of Cadiz and the largest fundraiser per capita of Rotary International. During the 2009-10 auction the forty-nine member club raised over $170,000 and over the past forty- six years has raised well over one million dollars to benefit the youth and senior adults of Trigg County.

The goal of the Rotary Club has always been to use fifty cents of every dollar raised to provide financial assistance to every qualified student who applies to the Cadiz Rotary scholarship/grant program. In 2003, members began to see the cost of post secondary education escalating out of sight and saw a need to place greater emphasis on higher education for academic scholars and grants for the “average student with above average financial needs.” (Beth Mann, President 2003). Since then, Rotary has invested over one quarter million dollars in scholarships and grants (most renewable) and other educational opportunities for the youth of this community. The success of that goal can’t be measured in dollars and cents; instead you will find it measured in the lives and careers of the students who have received diplomas.
