It was a packed house at the Rotary Club of Utica’s “Not So Silent Night” Gift Auction, held last month at the Fort Schuyler Club. In true Rotary fashion, the holiday spirit was anything but silent – not to mention the Rotarians sporting themed-holiday sweaters that were almost as loud as the auctioneers.
 
 
 
The event raised over $5,000, benefitting Catholic Charities of Oneida and Madison Counties' Christmas Assistance Program, which helps families and children in need during the holiday season.
