On Friday evening, Oct. 13, 2023, the Rotary Club of Burton-Middlefield (BMR) was one of the organizations recognized at the popular “Pasta with a Purpose” fund raiser held annually by the Red Tulip Project in Claridon Township. This is a Geauga County non-profit that focuses on women in crisis. They provide a home for these victims while they work to get their lives back in order and become productive citizens again. Red Tulip has become a very important part of the social network in our county in just a few years.
BMR has supported this project from the beginning, originally helping with some of the actual construction of the house and grounds. They stepped up this year with a major contribution of funds geared to build and strengthen the Red Tulip operation. BMR was recognized as a major sponsor of the program at their popular “Pasta with a Purpose” dinner held this year at Veteran’s Lagacy Park on Rt. 44 in Newbury Township.
Over one hundred guests were on hand for a great dinner provided by Guido’s Restaurant in Chesterland, a wide variety of gift baskets, important talks about the health and status of the Red Tulip project and some great entertainment.
BMR continues to support this and other critical non-profits in Geauga County through their incredible Maple Splash Raffle which will start this year’s ticket sales soon.
