Rotary club serves, gives in December
GREENFIELD – The Rotary Club of Greenfield has been involved with several community service projects this month.
Nearly $2,500 was collected for the Shop with a Deputy program when 29 Rotarians rang bells at local businesses in Greenfield Dec. 3. Chantel Fowler and Sherry Haines were recognized for collecting the most at over $50. Together, the police and sheriff’s departments assisted 69 children for the event.
The club has grown to 99 members and recently recognized Paul Harris Fellows, a recognition acknowledging individuals who contribute, or have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation. Kim Hall, Devon Brown and Brian Croel were honored. At the plus-one level were Kirk Jocham and Jake Kersey; April Stillinger is plus-two. That raises the PHF participation to 60 members.
The club will meet again Dec. 22 and have its Thirty-Second Auction.

Knightstown sorority had a busy fall
KNIGHTSTOWN – Psi Iota Xi Gamma Eta chapter in Knightstown hosted fundraisers and events this fall. From Oct. 6-Nov. 3 the organization sold Abbott’s caramels and Warm Glow candles. The group co-hosted “Trail at the Haunted Pond” with Knightstown Youth Football. The event, on the property of one of the members, had many visitors in two nights as well as a kid-friendly hour during the daylight. The event also included a photo booth, and 73 pictures were taken on parents’ phones as a service to the guests.
On Nov. 3, the group had its “Make It – Bake It-Fake It” auction, where all proceeds went word projects that ultimately help individuals or groups within the Charles A. Beard and Eastern Hancock communities.
