February 23, 2025 – The Rotary Club of Clovis once again delivered a night to remember at the 32nd Annual Crab Feed, held at the Clovis Veteran’s Memorial District on February 22, 2025. The highly anticipated event, which sold out well in advance, brought together community members from across the state for an evening of delicious food, lively bidding, and charitable giving.
Attendees enjoyed an all-you-can-eat feast of fresh crab, pasta, salad, and dessert, complemented by a hosted open bar. The night was packed with excitement, featuring an energetic live auction led by a professional auctioneer. Items up for grabs included luxury getaways, helicopter rides, catered dinners, and even a private yacht experience. The silent auction offered over 300 items, ranging from autographed memorabilia to exclusive artwork, while the always-popular dessert auction provided guests with decadent treats. Adding to the evening’s festivities was the raffle for a wheelbarrow filled with top-shelf liquor, a highlight for many attendees.
The Crab Feed serves as the largest fundraiser for the Clovis Rotary Club, with proceeds supporting a range of local and international initiatives, including scholarships, youth leadership programs, and aid for military families. The Rotary Club of Clovis is part of Rotary International, a global service organization with over a century of history in humanitarian efforts. The club actively engages in projects that address critical needs such as literacy, clean water access, and disaster relief, making a tangible difference both locally and worldwide. High school Interact Club students from six local schools volunteered at the event, serving tables and earning tips that directly support their community projects.
Those who support events like the Crab Feed play a direct role in these efforts, helping fund scholarships for students, providing assistance to veterans, and aiding families in crisis. The club welcomes anyone interested in giving back to the community to attend future events or consider membership.
With another successful year in the books, the Rotary Club of Clovis looks forward to continuing its mission of “Service Above Self” and invites the community to stay engaged for future opportunities to contribute and participate.
