The Rotary Club of Beaumont celebrated their annual Holiday Party at the Art Museum of Southeast Texas on December 16, 2025. The party was chaired by Past President Joanne Brown and a great holiday committee to create a fun and festive event for everyone.
By tradition, the club announced the club President Nominee at the Holiday party. With the collaboration of Past Presidents, the President Nominee was named. Lynn Hill, Vice President 2023-2024, Chaired Rotary Goes to School Chair and Head Table Assignments. She will serve as club President during the 2027-28 year. Hill, a Rotarian since 2017, has been involved in many ways. Congratulations, Lynn!
A very special thank you to Past President Joanne Brown for chairing the Holiday Party Committee and leading the President’s Council meeting to select the President Nominee for the reveal. Thank you as well to all of our Rotarians who attended and helped make the evening so special.
Many thanks to Rotarian Dr. James Han for leading us in several festive holiday carols. The Beaumont Rotary Chorus was a wonderful success. Dr. Han was beautifully assisted by pianist Dr. Betty Duncan, who is always a joy to have with us.
Sincere thanks to the Art Museum of Southeast Texas for hosting such a fantastic event, Two Magnolias for the wonderful catering, and Thomas Davis for the beautiful and delicious cake.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the 2025 Holiday Party. Well done to the Rotary Holiday Party Committee!
