Camp Royal Program Needs a Chairperson

 

Roy Ellis  needs a member to take over the Camp Royal Program.  He indicates that the interviews come at the same time as he is dealing with the scholarship interviews an he can no longer do both.  If you are interested call Roy.

 

VISITING ROTARIANS & GUESTS

 

There were many guests tonight and all were introduced.  I am not listing them here because I didn’t even attempt to make a list of them.  Well, that is not entirely true.  I did start and get a few names, but after that it went too fast and there was too much noise in the room, so I gave up my attempt.

 

Dave Mulqueeney, who was in charge of festivities, presided over the remainder of the party.  Dave was assisted in putting on the Christmas Party by his wife, Chris, K. R. Robertson, Dan Driscol and Dan Davies.  Jim Kirks made the arrangements for the Durham High School Symphonic Orchestra.  President Mike did close the meeting, but, by then he had lost the Club Bell again.

 

The Durham High School Symphonic Orchestra played some beautiful music.

 

Larry Bradley then led the singing of Christmas Carols.

 

Dave Mulqueeney presided over the auction of the three centerpieces.  

One included the bottle of wine the District Governor gave President Mike, which he is supposed to bring to the convention in June.  Mike had to win the bidding on that one, which he did.

 

 

The rest of the Christmas Party story is in the following photographs:

 

 

 

NEXT MEETING

 

There are no more meetings this year.

 

The next meeting will be January 5th and it is me.  It will be a program about the success of the Salvation Army substance abuse facility across from the airport.

 

Happy New Year?
