Thanks, Crab Crackers of Los Gatos! Rotary Event Was Huge Success

From the Los Gatos Rotary:

Nearly 461 crab lovers cracked and devoured pounds of Dungeness crab for charity at the Los Gatos Rotary’s 14th Annual Crabfest and Auction held on January 24.

“It was one of our most successful events which grossed just under $50,000” said Jeff Milde, event chairman. “Which is great because all the money raised goes back into our own community and nonprofit organizations we support -- such as St. Lukes food pantry to aid the homeless, the Los Gatos Boy Scouts who in turn give back to the community by buying Christmas gifts, and Los Gatos and Leigh High Interact service club.”

We want to thank all our sponsors who contributed to the success of this event: Billy Boston for providing the clam chowder; Nothing Bundt cakes for helping with dessert; Los Gatos Coffee Roasting company for providing coffee; and of course Cuvee for providing the wine.

We would also like to thank Edward Jones, Inikosoft design, ics (integrated copy solutions), our media partners Los Gatos this week, KCAT TV 15, and Silicon Valley Community Newspaper.

Of course, we could not have pulled off this event without the use of St. Mary’s community hall, the help of Los Gatos & Leigh High School Interact students, the Los Gatos Boy Scouts, and our own hard working Rotarians who contributed not only their time but fantastic auction items.

A final thank you to the attendees of this event, you’re the reason we all had so much fun!

Rotary is a worldwide organization with over 1.2 million members who are neighbors, friends, and community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting changes in our communities and around the world. With you, we can accomplish even more.
