Could Dam Federal Credit Union President Colleen Manly reacts as Merle Kennedy unwraps his blind auction winnings at the Grand Coulee Dam Rotary Club's annual Christmas party at the credit union December 4th. Members buy the items, then bid on them not knowing what they are. The auction raised about $2,100 that the club will put to community projects and to larger Rotary projects around the globe, such as the eradication of polio from the planet.
