Don your fanciest party clothes and join us for our "Happy 95th Rotary Birthday" Crab Feed party + Auction on Saturday, January 24, 2026. Back by popular demand, the menu will include ALL YOU CAN EAT Crab, pasta, salad and special dessert.
There will be delightful live music as well as festive decor to take you down West County's Memory Lane. You will also enjoy a delicious selection of local and international wines, beer and hard seltzer, a super secret signature drink (which sells out every year), an always fabulous silent auction, exciting raffles & games, and who knows what else! (Russian River Rotarians are a mischievous bunch . . . ) And, you won't want to miss our famous Live Auction and Fund a Need starring the indomitable Senator Mike McGuire!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW NOW:
1. Location: Friedman Event Center 4676 Mayette Avenue, Santa Rosa. Doors Open @ 4:30 pm
2. Our Silent Auction Bidding will be conducted ON SITE with bid sheets & pens (BUT you will need to register your credit card # in order to be issued your unique BID number* at check-in.)
3. Our Live Auction and Scholarship Ask will be conducted LIVE ON-SITE with paddle raises and cheering which is a real HOOT! (Your paddle is your unique BID number* that you receive at check-in.)

*** Regarding Payments for Tickets, Bar & Auction Purchases ***
Tickets and sponsorship tables purchased on-line will require your credit card # for payment and your card will be charged at the time of purchase. (If you prefer to pay for your tickets or sponsorships by check, just make arrangements with a Russian River Rotarian to do so.)
*Bar & Auction items purchased onsite will be "Cashless". Attendees with a credit card on file will be issued your unique BID number* which will be required to purchase bar items or to bid on silent or live auction items. Your credit card on file will not be charged until after the event ends - and after you have a chance to review your purchases at the check-out tables. If you prefer to pay for these purchases by check (instead of your credit card), you can do so at the check-out tables.
5. Auction Items: Do you have something really interesting or unique that you could contribute to our cause? Complete the form that you'll find in the DONATE AN AUCTION ITEM button (or call a Rotarian) and we'll pick it up from you!
As our item inventory grows, you will be able to preview what will be available to bid on in our PREVIEW AUCTION button.
