SHERBURNE – Following the Rotary motto of Service Above Self, Sherburne Rotarians decided to support a local fire department fundraiser with a kick-off contribution of $10,000.

According to Sherburne Rotary President Simon Solomon, the donation was the result of years of work in the community.

“It shows that community support can go in so many directions, and in this case is a result from years of hosting music in the park, holding fruit and pie sales, to the selling of tickets for the annual Rotary Big-M Shopping Spree,” Solomon said.

Present for the presentation includes Smyrna Supervisor Mike Khoury, EMS PIC Terry Kuhn, EMS Assistant Chief Dan Welc, Sherburne Fire Department Chief Jansen Casscles, Sherburne Rotary President Simon Solomon, Past Rotary District Governor Dave Bensley, Sherburne Rotary Member Gayle Hellert; Village Trustee Elena Casscles, Mayor Bill Acee, Town of Sherburne Representative Rowena Krum, Town of Columbus Representative Diane Scalzo, and Sherburne Rotary Representative Angela Jones.
