Christmas
Twas ten days before Christmas, when all through downtown,
Not a Rotarian was stirring, no one to be found;
For there was a pandemic that filled the air,
With hope that a vaccine 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,
But there would be no sign-up with Donn this year
For now, we will be zooming, which will be a test;
Instead looking forward to Gail and Greg's Christmas best;
More rapid than searching the Faribault Rotarians will zoom
And Brenda whistled and shouted and will call them at noon:
Now, Mahler! Now, Wilson! Now, Sanchez and Nelson!
On, Sauer! On, Sesker! On, Coleman and Wickstrom!
To the seat of your desk! To the end of the screen!
Now dash away! Dash away! And soon we'll be seen!
Then we heard Gail and Greg exclaim, as they logged out that night;
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
All Rotarians, Rotaract members, their families, and guests are invited to the NO 81st Annual Faribault Rotary Christmas Concert Event to be held on Wednesday December 16th at noon on Zoom. First, we will award Faribault Rotary Club's Rotarian of the Year 2020 with President Brenda and the recipient live from The Inn at Shattuck. Following this presentation, the joyful sounds of the holiday season will be brought to us by Pastor Greg Ciesluk and Gail Kaderlik. Our regular host for over 30 years, Donn Johnson will sit back and enjoy this program with the rest of us with the hope that everyone will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
