The Rotary Club of Edmond enjoyed a little Oktoberfest and raised some money at the same time.
Several club members spent a full day and evening October 5 at Frenzy Brewing Company in downtown Edmond preparing Bratz, sauerkraut, hot pretzels and sides for patrons visiting the annual celebration.
Frenzy Brewing Company has partnered with our club for a second year, offering discounted beer and a special meal for those who wanted a little food with their brews! Frenzy offered a special Oktoberfest Festbier for the occasion.
Rotary Club of Edmond raised more than $1,700 for student scholarships.
Frenzy also allowed our club to raise funds and serve food on St. Patrick’s Day.
We appreciate the business’s support and those who came out to enjoy the celebration while helping young scholars at the same time.
Rotarians also volunteered at the Miracle League at Edmond’s Mitch Park on October 14. The event gives families of baseball players with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy the game without the responsibility of helping on the field. Rotarians helped snag balls in the outfield and provided a lot of encouragement to the players in the long-standing league. The field is designed specifically for people with disabilities.
Rotarians will be back on the field October 24 to assist other teams. If you would like to experience the event and find fulfillment and purpose, contact Amy Hollis. Ask anyone who has participated, and you will hear stories of inspiration and pleasant surprises at how the event has a positive effect on their lives.
