On December 23rd, we had a dynamic group from DYPAC entertain the members. It was amazing! Thanks, Debbie Jackson and Mary Zaleski, for making the arrangements!
Family Christmas Party
We had a full house at our Trenton Rotary Christmas party on December 23rd. It was so nice to see so many family members join us. A HUGE thank you to Matt & Jackie Hatty for donating gifts for the goody bags, Debbie & Noel Jackson for donating presents for the kids and to the DYPAC performers for providing entertainment. Looking at all the smiles, it was obvious everyone had a great time!
