Lancaster-Depew Rotarians spend their Fall evenings on Thursday and Friday, or Saturday mornings, selling concessions to the crowds that attend Lancaster High and JV football games.The club has used the concession business to fund annual college scholarships, for students in need, since 1945.
In the '70s the club erected our own building on the school district property, but during the pandemic they built us an enlarged facility so that they could take over our building for other purposes. Coordination is key. Past president Brian Williams has taken responsibility for leading our team for a number of years. During his tenure, the fundraiser has gained momentum and the items we sell have greatly expanded. Greater annual profits have led to larger and greater numbers of annual scholarships to Lancaster and Depew high school seniors.
Members generally rotate duty from week to week.
