Good afternoon, everyone. We urgently need your help.

The Scranton Rotary Club is still in dire need of baskets for our Christmas Karaoke Night this Thursday, December 11, from 6 PM to 8 PM at Bartari, 101 Adams Ave., Scranton.

This event benefits The Arc of NEPA and their powerful mission to support individuals with disabilities—especially during the holiday season. Every basket donated, every dollar raised, helps The Arc respond to real holiday needs right here in our community.

You can also win basket raffles or participate in our 50/50 raffle, all while enjoying a festive night of music, joy, and giving.

If you have a basket you’re willing to donate, please reach out. We will gladly come pick it up. Your generosity fuels this work, and we are profoundly grateful for the continued support from our community.

Let’s come together, lift some voices, spread some cheer, and make a real impact this holiday season.
