The Scoop from Jay Spiro

#ServiceAboveSelf

Jay Spiro was serving it up at the first Rotary Club of Sylva Chili Chowdown! All proceeds from the flavorful day went straight to participating nonprofits, making a positive impact on the community. It was more than just chili; it was a day filled with warmth, community, and a commitment to #ServiceAboveSelf.
