Cashmere Rotary “Fun-raiser” event will provide scholarships for CHS seniors

CASHMERE — Almost no other clubs in the Cashmere valley do as much public good as the Cashmere Rotary. That’s true in nearly any town, of course, but Cashmere has been so self-reliant over the last century that it can only be attributed to ordinary folks volunteering their time and putting together community efforts.

On Wednesday, May 28, Rotary Cashmere will be holding a “Fun-raiser” at Yonder Cider in Side Street at 111 Railroad Avenue, and it’s jam-packed with games and raffle prizes that are fun for all ages. Some of the games include Connect Four, cornhole, hook & ring, Jenga and all kinds of things to keep you entertained for hours, all while raising money for scholarships for Cashmere High School seniors.

For the last decade, Cashmere Rotary has donated more than $207,000 in scholarships, at an average of almost $3,000 per kid. Every single penny raised during the event at Yonder will go toward these scholarships and benefit kids right here in Cashmere.

The event is of course family friendly, and you’re encouraged to invite your friends as well. Everyone is welcome, and there will be a food truck onsite if you get hungry. And for the grown-ups, there’s always Yonder itself, which has 14 taps inside of ciders, beer and even slushies.

Sure, Wednesday’s a work night. But why not make a little time from 6–8 p.m. on May 28 and come down to Yonder to help Rotary raise money to send some lucky kids to school? As Rotary always says, Service Above Self.
