The 2025 Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Masquerade and Auction: Big Win for Small Town.
 
 
     The staging and execution of KNK Rotary's annual event was anything but small town.  Under the direction of auction chair Sloane Schmidt and her committee, the timely themed event was sold out, attracting almost 150 patrons and Rotarians, crowded into Kingston's Village Green Community Center.
 
 
     
     Rotarian and Chief Auctioneer Clint Boxman guided guests through "heads and tails,"                "golden tickets, " eight live auction items, and no fewer than three opportunities to "raise the paddle" in every effort to empty wallets in the room for a good cause.  
 
   
     Maskless patrons were afforded the chance to buy a mask in support of the Rotary and Kiwanis sponsored Club at Kingston High.
 
   
     The event was highlighted by keynote remarks from Kingston North Kitsap Rotarian and North Kitsap Schools Superintendent Rachel Davenport and a welcome from Club co-president-elect Emily Froula.
     Save the date.  Kingston North Kitsap Rotary's next big event for the community is set for June 20, when the 18th Annual Swing for Rotary Golf Tournament will be staged at White Horse Golf Club.
