ImageRotary of Grosse Pointe President Diane Strickler presented Past President Kim Towar and daughter Brandi Towar with roses and a club-wide, heartfelt thanks for their tremendous — and successful — efforts in organizing and pulling of the Snuggle gala Oct. 27 at the Roostertail. Not only was the event a great time had by all, it also netted some $22,000 for Operation Warm, a four-club effort to purchase 12,000 coats for children in Detroit, Harper Woods, the Grosse Pointes and St. Clair Shores. Participating clubs are the A.M.and P.M. Detroit Rotaries as well as the Grosse Pointe Sunrise Rotary.
