Lexington Christian Academy Madrigal Singers Entertain at Rotary Annual Holiday Luncheon.

With snowflakes swirling outside, 21 Lexington Rotarians, 24 guests and Santa met for the Lexington Rotary Club holiday party.
 
A dinner of beef tenderloin, chicken with mushrooms, mashed potatoes, green beans and cold cuts was provided.
 
The pledge was lead by PP Don M., the invocation was given by PP Don S, and Past Sergeant at Arms Charlie V. let the 1st verse of America and the Welcome Song, which was amazingly in tune.
 
Raffle Gifts Were Provided by:
  • Bob Cunningham
  • Wagon Wheel Nursery & Farm Stand
  • Boston Volvo Village - Ray Ciccolo
  • Arlex Oil Corp.
  • Patriot Community Bank
  • Rotary Club of Lexington.
 
Fines & Happy Dollars
  • PP Dan B., who had many family members in attendance, gave many happy dollars.
  • PP Don Martini gave happy dollars for his purchase of a Christmas Tree at a discount with a Groupon at Wagon Wheel. 
  • No fines were given, but Santa warned of reindeer droppings for the naughty ones in attendance.
 
Santa collected, very generous donations, to the tune of $1,221.00 to give to a local charity that assists homeless families with temporary housing and a path to get them back on their feet.
 
The attendees were treated to wonderful a cappella singing by the Madrigal Singers of the Lexington Christian Academy.  They sang five holiday songs; a version O Come Emmanuel in Latin, All Is Well, African Noel, Seasons Of Light and a humorous Good King Kong (with kazoos) adapting music written by J. S. Bach.
