Rotary Business: President Scott Kimball presented District Governor Lincoln Ehrlenbach with his Paul Harris +5 pin for his commitment to giving to the Rotary Foundation. Congrats Lincoln!
Program/Speaker: The Program was the gift swap. Around 30 members participated. Overall very few gifts were swapped, with the exception of the bakeware set and a few bottles of wine. Scott and Carl were emcees. Scott adorned himself in a Donald Duck hat, Carl was Goofy. A good time was had by all as we headed into the Holidays. Thanks to Club Service Chair Jane Bromley Langley for the hard work on a great event!
