President-elect Rob invites you to join in the fun of the first virtual holiday party in our club's history. This no-cost event is happening on Zoom at noon on the 16th of December. Please dress festively for this event, well at least from the waist up. Although we will ring the bell at 12:15 please join as close to noon at possible. We are going to have digital mingling along with a couple of surprises in that first 15 minutes. The program for the event features inspiration, stories, music and special guests. We look forward to sharing some holiday cheer with you!

Joys & Concerns
Joy from Bill Patrick: My joy was in being with a handful of my fellow Rotarians for the in-person-non-virtual Salvation Army bell ringing this past Friday downtown. So good to share some time and actual space in “Service Above Self”!
Concern from Paul Lynch: An update on my wife, Kelly Lynch… Kelly is experiencing a gradual decline and she is more tired nowadays, spending most of her at home. Fortunately, her pain is not too bad at this time. The family has involved hospice to ensure they have the resources to continue to keep Kelly comfortable during this next chapter of the journey.
