Rotary Projects around the Globe

扶輪計畫遍佈全球

For more than a decade, Iowa Rotarians have conjured up a frightful tradition for people
seeking a Halloween scare. The undertaking started in 2012, when the Rotary Club of Eldora
leased an abandoned city-owned hospital and turned it into a haunted fundraiser attracting
visitors from across the state and new interest in the club. When the hospital was sold in 2023,
the Rotarians created a new spooky attraction, an outdoor haunted trail. Costumed actors,
including high school thespians, line the half-mile wooded path. "Honestly, the area is creepy
enough without any props or decorations," says Marc Anderson, club president. Proceeds are
donated back into the community, primarily to the high school boosters. The club's dozen
members all pitch in to handle crowd control and ticket sales. “Most importantly," Anderson
says, "one Rotarian has to pick up pizzas to feed our actors at the end of each evening."

十多年來，愛荷華州扶輪社為尋求萬聖節驚悚體驗的人們創造了一項令人毛骨悚然的傳統活動。

這項活動始於2012年，當時埃爾多拉扶輪社租下了一座廢棄的市立醫院，並將其改造成一個鬼屋籌款
活動，吸引了來自全州各地的遊客，也讓扶輪社獲得了新的關注。2023年醫院出售後，扶輪社創造了
另一個新的恐怖景點，一條戶外鬼屋小徑。身著戲服的演員，包括一些高中戲劇社的成員，沿著半英
里長的林間小徑排成一列。扶輪社社長馬克安德森說：「說實話，即使沒有任何道具或裝飾，這片區
域也足夠陰森恐怖了。」活動收益將捐贈給社區，主要用於資助高中後援會。扶輪社的十幾名成員都

參與其中，負責維持秩序和售票。安德森說：「最重要的是每天晚上活動結束後，都必須有一位扶輪
社成員去買披薩，給我們的演員們提供餐食。」
