The importance of food in fundraising: Rotary honours local caterer
Good food can be a very important element in bringing people together for community fundraising; it’s a reason why certain events and organizations get a name for themselves as they strive to reach their goals.
The Rotary Club of Prince Albert recognizes that, and Monday night paid tribute to someone they think went above and beyond in helping them make an impact.
Local caterer and restaurateur Randy Whitter with My Place Catering, who is not a Rotary member, was awarded with an honorary Paul Harris Fellowship, which is occasionally given to a person who the organization deems to be deserving.
“We realize good food is important but we also knew we were assisting them in raising funds for such good causes,” Whitter, who has helped Rotary for about 20 years told paNOW. “Food is a big deal and people have a tendency to remember that and it’s a great way of bringing people together.”
