The Rotary Club of Princeton honors a local non-profit organization each year during its annual auction.

The “Fund a Need” recipient for 2023 was Illinois Valley Quilts of Valor. During the auction held on Veterans Day, auction goers had the opportunity to bid donations specifically for this purpose. A total of $9,475 was raised.

Terry Johnson gave a short presentation that evening and was on-hand at a recent noon meeting of the local Rotary Club to accept a check.

Illinois Valley Quilts of Valor provides handmade quilts for local veterans for comfort and healing.
