President Gerry welcomed the large group that attended the Christmas Party. It was great to see so many Rotarians' spouses in attendance (some giving up other Christmas parties to attend) as well as special guests and old friends Tom and Brenda Brown, Shirley Smith, Faye Ferguson, Paul Blower and interactors --Andrew Valdez, Lee Delange, Hannah Miller and Becky Quip.
Tom brought Christmas greetings from Ed and Kathy Willson.
Two 50/50’s were drawn. Interactor Becky Quip was the lucky winner on the first one. The second one was Barb Warnock and it was accepted by Paul Lovelock who, at the request of Barb, who had to leave a bit early, returned it to the Club. Happy Finns
