SAVE THE DATE.......This is always a great event to come to.  The Manor residents love that our Rotary Club puts on a Christmas party for them.  Everyone is welcome and you can bring your family also.  Rotary serves cake and punch along with tea and coffee.  There is usually entertainment and of course the man with the 'red suit' always shows up so that the Manor residents can have their photos taken with him.
