Spindletop Rotary Club has donated $5,000 to the Symphony of Southeast Texas and Some Other Place from funds raised at its annual roast event.
The club hosted the Celebrity Roast of Symphony Conductor Chelsea Tipton on April 7. Friends were invited to attend the night of good-natured fun as Tipton’s special friends “roasted” him with stories from behind the scenes at the symphony.
The symphony received $3,500 and, at Tipton’s request for a contribution, Some Other Place was given $1,500. Additional funds raised from the event will benefit Rotary service projects and grants, including a new partnership with Blanchette Elementary in providing books for all students.
The “forecast” also looks great for March 30, 2023! Spindletop Rotary Club invites the community to save the date for the Celebrity Roast of KFDM Meteorologist Greg Bostwick at the MCM Elegante’ Hotel. Sponsorships will be available soon.
