Members, spouses, friends, entertainers, and one Special Guest helped make the 2011 Sunrise Rotary Club Christmas party a great event. El Presidente Wilcox started the festivities by presenting our tireless Abbey Inn staff, Maria and Calvin, with a token of our esteem and appreciation. (What? Nothing for Shayne. No. Bummer for you) We then had a tremendous program provided by Carol Sue and her awesome students on the violins. Angels could not have sounded better. The meeting was topped off by a visit from the skinniest Santa we have ever seen. He graciously delivered white elephant gifts to club members. Wow, the stress of the season has really taken a toll on Santa this year. Anyway, a great party. Now enjoy the photo recap. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Dixie Sunrise Rotary Club.
