The Rotary Club of Huntsville Evening Satellite Club hosted the Rotary Road Rally/Scavenger Hunt, a social distanced road rally in the Huntsville area, the weekend of September 24.
The funds raised from the event support Community Living Huntsville’s new campaign, Rev Up
Independence, an initiative to replace their accessible cube van. Proceeds also support the important work of
Muskoka Victim Services who work closely with first responders and community partners to provide short-term crisis intervention support and connect people with appropriate long-term community supports.
“We wanted to create a fun family event that could be carried out in a pandemic safely and at the same time showcase our amazing topography ” said Sharon Wallace, Rotarian and event co-chair.
Participants were sent 20 riddles which they had to solve. The riddles took them to hidden gems in our community, beautiful tranquil places off the beaten path. Registrants journeyed around north Muskoka discovering places they may not have been or been to in a while. While they took in the spectacular views they had to take selfies as proof, they found their destinations.
The rally was enjoyed by both visitors and residents with enthusiastic feedback.
“We are so excited to have such a successful first year and be able to raise so much money for these charities,” said Anita Gleeson, Rotarian and event co-chair. “These two charities change people’s lives one person at a time.”
Prizes were awarded from Algonquin Outfitters, Winners and other community partners.
The Rotary Club of Huntsville Evening Satellite Club is a service club located in Huntsville, Ontario. One hundred per cent of the event revenue will be given to Community Living Huntsville and Muskoka Victim Services.
