THE 62nd ANNUAL Presque Isle Rotary Radio/TV Auction will be broadcast live from the Northeastland Hotel Dec. 1-3 from 7-10 p.m. With over $43,000 worth of merchandise, goods and services, officials are certain there’s something that will peak everyone’s interest this year.
One of the bigger auction items is a KBESS VAL6 infrared portable space heater, donated by TD Bank and Lynox Welding Supply. Pictured with the space heater, which is valued at $1,850, are, from left: Jeff Pangburn, auction co-chair; Gene Lynch, owner of Lynox Welding Supply; Nancy Fletcher, president of the Presque Isle Rotary Club; Mike Kelley Sr., executive vice president of TD Bank; and Floyd Rockholt, auction co-chair. This year, the Presque Isle Rotary Club will donate auction proceeds to Catholic Charities of Maine, Central Aroostook Humane Society, Wintergreen Arts Center, Nordic Heritage Center, Presque Isle Historical Society, SAD 1’s Emergency Fund and the Presque Isle Downtown Revitalization Committee. In addition, Rotarians hope to raise $25,000 to help the Presque Isle Snowmobile Club build its new clubhouse. The former building was destroyed by fire earlier this year. The auction can be heard on Big Country 97 and seen on Time Warner Cable Channel 9.
