Community holiday dinner in Portola serves many dinners and much cheer
The Rotary Club of Portola provided a special Holiday Dinner for the community at the Catholic Church in Portola on Wednesday, December 14. With help from several community members, about 130 turkey dinners were served and many more were sent home to folks that couldn’t make it. Community folks that committed their time and energy were Darla Thompson, Terri Cooper, Debbie Bliss, Taylor Bliss, Jackie Joy, and Laurine Prinvale, and Rotarians Matt and Elizabeth Cruse, Kim and Sam Wilbanks, Rachelle Ramelli, Renee Hermann, and Van VanDerveen were serving as well.
