8A | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS ROTARY from page 1A Rotary Auction is much more than just fun. It makes this community a better place to live. And I have proof,” Ferguson said at one point in the play. “Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the evidence will show that your support is a chance to change the lives of local young people. You see, not too many years ago, I was one of those stu- dents.” She went on to explain that a Rotary scholarship helped her with her school- ing, which ultimately led to her return to Florence as an attorney at Hanawalt Fergu- son, Attorneys at Law. “Indeed, but for that schol- arship, I may not be standing before you today,” Ferguson said. “I implore you, … make it possible for more young people to thrive and make this year’s Florence Rotary Auction the best ever.” After this speech, The Mad Hatter announced that this year would be a special “unbirthday party” and unveiled the poster for The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, which will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 14, at the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince St. “Welcome to my tea par- ty,” Spencer said. “They say it is a place full of wonder, danger and excitement. They say to survive there you have to be ‘mad as a hatter.’ Well, Laurel Ferguson (right) played “Laurel in Won- derland” during the Ro- tary Auction Theme skit opposite her nemesis the Red Queen, played by Jenna Bartlett.

In addition, a team of 24 Rotarians serve on the Auc- tion Committee, and people are welcome to step in to help. McMullen said, “Kim and I get a lot of credit for this, but we don’t do it all. It’s all of our committee members, the whole Rotary Club and ev- erybody involved who puts this auction on. Give your- selves a great hand.” Other ways to participate include donating teacups to the Rotary Auction Decorat- ing Committee, who plan to use donated sets in displays and decoration. These will not be returned, as some sets may be permanently al- tered. People can also donate items for the auction and raise money through Rota- ry coin jars throughout the community. Money from the coin jars go to the President’s Scholarship. According to Spencer, this year the scholarship will go to a student who works full time. “Those kids are often stu- dents who have great skills to go to college, but who are not able to do the extracurricular activities that other kids are able to engage in,” she said. “Just know, when you are putting coins in your coin jars, that is the plan this year for the Mad Hatter Scholar- ship.” At the end of the auc- tion presentation, Spencer thanked everyone who par- ticipated in the skit. “I do WLCF grant applications due Western Lane Commu- nity Foundation (WLCF) is still accepting applications for its 2020 grant cycle.
