Speaker:
There was no guest speaker, but we did have a visit from Santa and Awesome Rob the Magician. Ryan led us in signing some holiday tunes while we waited for the magician to begin. The magician did lots of cool tricks using Ryan as his assistant. Santa collected money to send The Salvation Army and to The Wounded Warriors. Each organization will receive a check for $500.00.
The 50/50 raffle was won by Jim T. in the amount of $110.00.
