Good afternoon, Longview Greggton Rotary!
Twenty short days until your Club brings “SING! AN IRISH CHRISTMAS” to Longview. I learned today that there will be a choir of over 40 local singers performing with the concert, so another great reason to invite your friends, family and coworkers to get their tickets for this Tuesday, December 10 event.
Tickets to the concert are available on the Belcher website: www.belchercenter.com. Go to MENU in the upper right corner, then tap COMMUNITY EVENTS and scroll down to the concert and tap to purchase tickets.
Last Saturday, President-Elect Donna Sharp, myself and several members of Longview Midtown Rotary volunteered at Heartisans Womens Ministry. We put together Christmas gift boxes that will generate income for this wonderful local charitable organization. It was a lot of fun and great fellowship.
Thank you everyone for participating in last week’s ROTARY CLUB HEALTH CHECK. Your input was very much appreciated, and after discussions held at today’s Board meeting, you can expect some exciting changes after the first of the year.
Don't forget to introduce yourselves to our newest club member, WRAY WADE, and our other recently inducted members.
This week, you will hear from STEVEN CHAMBLEE, the new Horticulturist for the Longview Arboretum. Steven is a noted expert in his field, and I hear he’s quite entertaining. So, if you’re dying to know what a Horticulturist is, be at this Friday’s meeting!
See everyone Friday,
