The Barnesville Rotary Club is seeking donations for its annual silent auction. Area businesses are being asked to donate an item worth at least $35 to be auctioned off Saturday, Feb. 21. The fund-raiser will also feature a raffle for $1,000 cash or a gift card from Ingle’s good for food and gas. Tickets, on sale now, are $1 each or $5 for six. All proceeds will be used locally by the Rotary Club. Last year Rotary auctioned 40 items ranging in value from $32 to $1,400. The auction raised $4,200 for literacy and leadership programs, cultural affairs and disadvantaged children. Monetary donations may be mailed to P. O. Box 303, Barnesville, 30204. Rotary is a non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. For information contact Rotary president Tom Payne at 770-358-4579 or tpayne2@earthlink.net; or Mark Stone at 770-358-6939.
