President Lucie's Christmas Message

Dear Rotarians,

 

I wanted to take a time out from the hectic holiday schedules to thank you for making the first half of my Presidential year so much fun.  It certainly comes with a fair share of harassment from our previous leader but it always seems to be at a time when I could use a laugh the most.  I really enjoyed our Christmas Party this year, and I guarantee anyone who attended had fun.  For those who couldn’t make it, I encourage you to attend next year because it is a great way to get to know each other on a more personal level.  Thank you to our gracious hosts Brian and Debbie, to Heather for planning it, and to all those who brought delicious food and drinks.

 

As I’ve mentioned at our meetings, this year was a record setter for Adopt-A-Family applications. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up and called families for Christmas lists, shopped, wrapped and will be delivering on December 21^st.  Thank you to those Rotarians who went above and beyond to adopt additional children so together we could make almost 100 children smile on Christmas morning.  It is important to note that we are now at capacity and if you are approached for help, we must turn people away at this point.

 

Thank you to all of you who have signed up to ring the bell on Friday (let’s try and raise over $1100 so we beat Saco Bay Club’s efforts) and finally, thank you to the Wine Tasting Committee who is already meeting to plan the next fundraiser!  Please note that this Wednesday (December 14) is our LAST CLUB MEETING in December.  We will not be holding our lunchtime club meetings on December 21 or 28 so please enjoy your holidays with your family and friends. 

 

Thank you all for just saying “Yes!”
