Christmas Float 2019 and Christmas Tree

Thanks to all those who donated making 2019 a successful fundraising float. What a great introduction for our new Rudolph!


Our Christmas Tree

Here is a photo of our tree, which is part of the Christmas tree Festival at Bingham Church.  Susan Molyneux and Gerry Thompson were our Animatrices, who put it all together, and it is decorated with an array of messages illustrating our Rotary involvement with the communities we serve.
