Southampton Rotary Club Re-Imagines Its Annual Dinner Auction – Speakeasy Style!
Get ready to step back in time! The Southampton Rotary Club is thrilled to announce the return of its signature fundraising event—re-imagined with a roaring twist. This year’s Dinner Auction and Dance, Bootleggers & Benefactors, promises an unforgettable evening of glitz, glamour, and giving on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at Loft Ten Twenty, PowerLink, 1020 Goderich St, Port Elgin.
Inspired by the 1920s speakeasy era, this high-energy night will feature a Giggle Juice Reception, elegant dinner, live and silent auctions, and toe-tapping music to dance the night away. Guests are encouraged to dress the part—think fabulous flappers and dapper gents—with prizes for best-dressed and most spirited.
All for a Great Cause
Proceeds from this year’s event will support Southampton Rotary’s local and international initiatives, including a very special “Fund A Need” campaign to LIGHT UP THE PITCH at Helliwell Park. The goal is to install new floodlights to extend evening playtime for youth soccer, increasing safety, accessibility, and participation for over 900 young athletes in Saugeen Shores.

Rotary in Action
This event builds on Southampton Rotary’s long-standing tradition of community support. Last year, the Dinner Auction raised over $63,000—including $29,000 for a musical instrument drive supporting local schools.
“Our club may be small, but our impact is mighty,” said Co-Hosts Trish Saunders and Sylvia Sheard. “With the community’s help, we’re supporting Southampton Rotary causes in our Town and globally whilst helping to Light Up Helliwell Park in Southampton for youth soccer.
