Worcester Rotary Rocket - Christmas 2015 Edition

 

I want to Wish you a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!

There will be no meeting this week or next week due to the Christmas and New Year holiday! Our next meeting will be January 7th at Leo's.

 

Last week we had our annual Glogg party at the Tatnuck Country Club. We had 55 members and guests in attendance as the Seven Hills Charter Public School Choir filled the air with seasonal song and Bengt Hansson filled our cups with Glogg. It was very festive as members and guests gathered by the fireplace.

 

We had many raffle items on hand and raised $900 for the general fund. Paul Shusas was unable to attend but he did donate raffle items! Thank you Paul. Ken Harling did a great job running the raffle as both Ken and Rod White showed up in shorts... How about that in December! Ken also started the Happy dollars off with $100.00. Everyone had an opportunity to tell why they are happy. Thank you Ken, well done!

 

Bob Johnson was able to get a full roster for bell ringing as well as for serving a Christmas meal at the Salvation Army. THANK YOU to all the volunteers.

 

Last Tuesday evening we had a group of 9 volunteers at the Kids Cafe helping to prepare and serve 300 children. The volunteers were Amy, Ellen, Mark, Patrick, Donna and her son Zevon, Lisa, Mike (WPI Rotaract) and myself.  

 

Thank you to all our volunteers and Thank you to everyone that helped to make our Glogg party a success! None of this would be possible without YOU! Together we can do more good in the world than we can do as individuals!

 

Have a great Holiday!

See you next year!
