It's official!  We're going to see A Christmas Carol on December 11 at 7:30pm.  I have reserved 20 seats and have confirmation for 13 of us attending.  That means there are 7 seats still available!  

We are all together but seats on the outer ends are less so the price range is $63-$99, with the 10% group discount.  If price is what keeps you from joining us, the board voted to give $25 per ticket to those that request  financial assistance. 

Don't miss out!  Let me know right away if you want to attend.  

You are warmly invited to join us for our Holiday Ornament Exchange on Wednesday, December 17th, during our regular meeting time and location!

Please bring:

🎁 A wrapped new ornament to exchange

🍰 A dessert to share with the club

🎄 A spirit of fun as we play Grinch Bingo together!

Come enjoy some holiday cheer with your fellow Rotarians, celebrate the season, and head home with a beautiful new ornament to treasure for years to come.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

Merry Christmas everyone!
