Each year, the Rotary Club of Princeton honors a local not-for-profit during its annual auction. The “Fund a Need” recipient for 2023 was Illinois Valley Quilts.
 
During the auction held on Veteran’s Day, auction goers had the opportunity to “bid” donations specifically for this purpose. A total of $9,475 was raised.
 
Terry Johnson gave a short presentation that evening and was on hand at a recent noon meeting of the local Rotary Club to accept a check. Illinois Valley Quilts of Valor provides handmade quilts for local veterans for comfort and healing.
