For better than 25 years, Clinton Rotary has hosted an alumni basketball game and this year's event was last Saturday evening.

Each year, the Rotary takes the proceeds from the game and donates them to the DeWitt County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Bob Cox with Habitat says the game is a great benefit to the organization because it helps keep them afloat.

While the game serves as a fundraiser for the local Habitat Chapter, President of the Clinton Rotary Club, Greg Taylor says the game is also a great promoter of the organization.

A Rotarian for many years, Terry Ijams is credited with the success of the alumni basketball game as he organizes it year after year. Taylor calls Ijams' efforts "tireless".

In the 25-plus years of the alumni basketball game, the Rotary has raised over $50-thousand for Habitat for Humanity.
