AUBURN -The Auburn-Lewiston Rotary Breakfast Club has passed the $200,000 mark in donations to local and international charities. The club, with 40 members, has looked to the community to support its fund-raising efforts, which now include its annual golf tournament in June and the Great Androscoggin Duck Race at the Balloon Festival in August.

More than 100 local organizations have benefited from donations since the club began in 1991, including Advocates for Children, the American Red Cross, Boys and Girls Club of Lewiston-Auburn, Good Shepherd Food-Bank, the Jubilee Center of Trinity Episcopal Church, L/A Arts, Museum L/A and the Salvation Army, each of which has received more than $5,000.

In addition, the club supports Theo’s Work, a school and orphanage in Haiti, which was founded by a Lewiston native, the Rev. Marc Boisvert.

The club’s newest fund-raiser is a Trip-of-the-Month raffle, which raised more than $20,000 in its first year. Only 350 tickets are available for the project; each costs $150.

Every month, beginning in December, three winners will be drawn. The first wins the Trip of the Month, which features destinations from Europe to the Western United States. The next two winners receive their $150 back and are still entered into subsequent drawings.

Tickets for the 2006 Trip of the Month raffle are now on sale from any member of the Breakfast Club.

The club will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2006. The Auburn-Lewiston Rotary Breakfast Club meets at 7:15 a.m. Wednesdays at the United Methodist Church on Park Street.
