82nd Faribault Rotary Christmas Concert
Twas just weeks before Christmas, when all through downtown,
Not a Rotarian was stirring, no one to be found;
The invites were made by Martha Brown with care,
In hopes that everyone would soon be there;
The Rotarians were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of Christmas concerts danced in their heads;
They knew in a moment the time had drawn near,
To sign-up with Martha and tell her no fear;
For we will be coming, even bringing a guest;
Looking forward to lunch and the choir's singing best;
More rapid than eagles the Faribault Rotarians came,
And Martha whistled and shouted and called them by name:
Now, Pollard! Now, Ciesluk! Now, Ginter and Kohl!
On, Haars! On, Rojas! On, Wickwire and Gliem!
To the seat of your cars! To the end of the street!
Now dash away! Dash away! And soon we will meet!
Then we heard Martha exclaim, as she walked out of sight;
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
All Rotarians their families, and guests are invited to the 82th Faribault Rotary Christmas Concert to be held on Wednesday December 14th (11:45 am- 1:15 pm) at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. The joyful sounds of the holiday season will be brought to us by the Faribault High School Concert Choir.

She asks that you respond to the online email whether or not you will be coming and bringing one or more guests. The cost of the meal is $15 unless you are on the meal plan.
