Happy holidays

As the holiday season comes to a close, we want to extend a huge thanks to Rosie's Restaurant, and our server Shyla, for the great service, food, and welcoming environment.

We also inducted a new Paul Harris Fellow at our annual holiday gathering: our club secretary Sylvie. We were also thankful to have Celeste, the Major Gifts Officer for Rotary Foundation, attend our holiday party as a guest to recognize past-District Governor Eric for his dedication to the foundation. What a great way to end the year!
