For many years, the Tilton-Northfield Rotary club held a Radio Auction. This event was started in the late 1970's when the economy was slow. The purpose of the Radio Auction is two-fold: to raise money for community projects, but also to help bring attention to the area merchants - shop local After almost 30 years, the club decided the Radio Auction had run its course and started a new fundraiser - a pet photo contest. In its first year, the Pet Photo contest raised over $4,000 and the winning photo was of Riley, a volunteer dog at the NH Veterans Home. Many thanks to Grace LaPlante and Janet Rosequist (WRSD Ag Center) for getting this new fundraiser off the ground.

Thanks also to our  many dedicated local sponsors and donors. It is only through their generosity that our club is able to raise money for use in our community. This money goes towards:
