Program: Chris’s Annual Skit
This was the week for Chris Parkinson to put on his annual skit. If you missed it, then you missed another great creative skit. It was recorded so you may be able to see it that way.
The theme title was “Rotary Inside Out” a loose adaptation of the movie “Inside Out” If you are not familiar, again watch the movie. The theme was around our very own Donna Deos, who as you know is the DG Elect. Many laughs and some heart felt singing by Chris to encourage Donna on her journey to being our next DG. Thank you to Chris for being so creative and giving us all an opportunity to have a lighthearted moment.
President Gerry closed the meeting with a toast to Rotary the world over.
Respectfully Submitted,
