Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The Warsaw Rotary Club met to hold their annual Rotary Salvation Army Day and collected $60,260.53 to support the efforts of The Salvation Army in Kosciusko County.
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of this event, first held in December 1965, according to information provided by The Warsaw Rotary Club. The effort was established by N. Bruce Howe to honor Brigadier Brice Phillipson, Rotarian and longtime Salvation Army officer. The event collected just over $800, which would have the buying power of $8,228 today.
The celebration has continued over six decades with John R. Hall serving as co-chair and now Alan Alderfer and Envoy Ken Locke as current chairs.
Club President Ben Rice thanked everyone who attended the meeting and for the donations given to this cause.
The club participated in their 98th Annual Rotary Toy Day earlier in the month, collecting $773.70 worth of gifts to support Angel Tree and Veterans Christmas outreach.
