2021 TAILGATE SOCIAL
We had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new friends at the 2021 Tailgate Social. The weather was perfect: a dark and moody sky to highlight the twinkle lights and warmth of the fire, and the rain held off until after the truck raffle. Thanks to Karen for drawing the winning ticket and to Sam, who purchased tickets and won the RFAN truck. In case you missed it, here's a bit of trivia from that night:
961 tickets purchased by the community at $5/ticket = $4,805 funds raised, and each dollar goes right back into this community Because of your generosity, RFAN has been able to distribute almost $200,000 to families in the Rochester community. Big round of applause for YOU! |

2017 FALL SPAGHETTI SOCIAL
|
Thank you to everyone who came to the Swede Hall for the Fall Spaghetti Social on October 7, 2017 and for generously purchasing tickets for the RFAN wood truck. Every dollar of each ticket sold goes directly toward helping people in our community.
After months of ticket sales leading up to the Fall Social, Barbara Nichols pulled the winning raffle ticket: Congratulations to Marge Cody for being the latest winner of the RFAN wood truck!
