Club Christmas Party

Thanks to those of you who already filled out the survey to pick a date for the Christmas Party.  It is still available at https://forms.gle/c4SHByzku7knTN5o9 until Monday morning so we can meet with Rosewood and get a commitment on number of people.  The club is chipping in to bring the cost down to $15 a head for attendees who committed to attend, which will include appetizers.  Rotarians will be responsible for their own bar tab.  A couple of you did not fill in your name.  Please either reply with your name, or edit your response.
