NO MEETING DURING HOLIDAY WEEKS
MSR RINGS IN THE HOLIDAYS
Our Annual Holiday Meeting is one of the most wonderful events of each Rotary Year!  This week, the talented singers and musicians of the Liberty High School A Cappella Choir along with the Brass Ensemble from the LHS Grenadier Band serenaded us with holiday favorites.  Plus, the morning would not be complete without the musical magnificence of our very own Rick Santee on the accordion.  A fantastic and enjoyable time was had by both young and old!  Thank you President Rodney and the Cathedral Church of the Nativity for hosting our meeting.
