Coming up December 15th and the Christmas Party
Hi Everyone,
Congrats to Ann and her team for a wonderful Bill Winn Holiday Lunch. A very special thanks to Ann for all her hard work for our Military. She heard that that there was a need to help the families in Camp Pendleton. She went to work and rallied our Rotary troupes to solved a problem. Because of her leadership and you all listened and responded, these families will have a little brighter Christmas. Well done Ann!! Just a great day!
Please bring your lightly worn coats to the meeting on the 15th. We will not do a gift exchange this year instead; we will give the gift of warmth to those that need a coat.
Next week is our last meeting of the year and we have Carmen Apelgren from the Braille Institute as our speaker. Carmen began losing her eyesight at an early age. Yet she didn't let it stop her from doing the things she loved: riding her bike, skiing, playing tennis, baton twirling and ice skating. When her next love turned out to be show business, she was no less intimidated. After earning a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Michigan State University, she acted, sang and danced her way through a successful career in theater.
Reminder! We have our Christmas Party on Friday the 17th. Please be at the bus at the Denny's on Messmer by 5:30 sharp. If you are delayed call me at 310-804-6432. Don't forget to dress warm. Sandi and her team has done a wonderful job to make this a special party for us all. We are billing everyone on the next billing cycle for the party but you can always pay on the bus as well.
I have lost track of what the menu is for lunch this week. I will get back on track in January.
See you all next week. John and I are heading to Boston today for a fast trip to see our grandchildren. We will be back Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Your Gavel-less Prez,
Linda
