Townsend Trivia Night

The Rotary Club of Helena Sunrise took our award winning Trivia Night on the road this week to Townsend.  In a joint project with the Townsend Rotary Club, we put on a Trivia Night at the American Legion Post.  Over 70 people showed up to support the charity Fun for Life, a nonprofit Broadwater County organization that grants scholarships to local youths interested in studying music, art, theater and foreign language.
The Townsend Rotary Club provided chili and snacks for the participants.  Teams representing the many aspects of Townsend included the Townsend Rotary Club, Townsend Electric, Broadwater County 4-H Council, BHC Auxiliary, Broadwater Health Center, Broadwater Democrats, Townsend Schools and the Townsend Lions Club.  Special guests included Montana Rotary District Governor Bill Spath and his wife Mary Lou.
Through the player registration fees, we raised $710.  Anonymous donors “B” and “P” promised to match additional donations up to $200.  The participants quickly filled the donation bowl with ones, fives, tens and twenties, donating another $250!  We raised $1,160 for Fun for Life in one evening of fun and games.  The Townsend Rotary team won the trivia contest, taking home a gift basket full of delectable goodies.
Special thanks to Townsend Rotarian Nancy Marks for managing the event, and to the 7 Helena Sunrise Rotary Club members who took the trip down the road to Townsend to put on Trivia Night in Townsend.
