SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The Rotary Club of South Bend has awarded the Morris Performing Arts Center with $15,000 to benefit the Morris 100 campaign, which celebrates 100 years of the center’s use.

Funds will be granted in an effort to help the Morris bring in bigger performers, put on more shows and provide opportunities for community education.
