Our annual Christmas dinner and auction was a great success! With a full house of nearly 100 guests and Rotarians, the Country Club produced a sumptuous dinner. The mood was festive and fun, led by our terrific MC and auctioneer, Adam Marshall who used humor and the art of the silly moment to keep the group having fun, drinking and bidding on items. The Christmas committee did a great job led by Dan Gott, chair, and members Marlyn Pino-Jone, Dave Sargent, Tom Elken, Cathy and Mike Dugan, not to mention Marlyn's good friend Melonie. We will have financial results soon, but the bidding was generous.
The Ponderosa Choir did a great job, and people at the tables were having fun. For a full set of pictures from the party, please go to our Facebook page.
