Lovely Christmas Party
Manon Mitchell
As we drove down the lane leading to the Calgary Golf & Country Club, we were transported to a magical place with all the lovely lights adorning the massive trees. We received a warm welcome from members of the Fellowship committee and cocktail hour was enjoyed with the music of Michael Pierson on piano, William Friedson on flute and myself on violin.
Our MC for the evening was President Nominee Doug Webb and we were treated to a traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings as well as Christmas pudding for desert. Lorelei Higgins read a wonderful story, "The Giving Tree" and everyone participated in our singing of the Rotary 12 Days of Christmas ... who can forget "5 Global Grants". Spirits were high and the winner of the Westjet trip for 2 was selected from the 200 tickets sold. Congratulations to Madeleine King and Bon Voyage!
Many thanks to our Fellowship committee under the leadership of Dennis Tran!
It was truly a magical evening enjoyed by many Rotarians and the wonderful guests.
