JPB and RTC Reporting
Another great Holiday Party with the PVR crew....If you missed it....well, we missed you! Here's so of the cheer to share, so you don't have to wish you were there!
Lots of kids this year....all dressed up for Santa Claus and the party! Here are the Downeys...you can tell by the smiles!
Some of the family members were experienceing their first Holiday Party! Here is the Cabrillo family in full holiday spirit!
So...we drank a little wine, had a few hors d'oeurves and made merry exchanging ornaments before dinner, accompanied by that maestro of the keys, Will Johnson.
Some of the winers and diners..Moe and Marcia
Sally, our Party chair lady and President to be...with Sheila who, as usual, was in charge of seeing everyone had enough to eat! And we did!
Though some of the guests brought their own dinner in a bottle! Like the newest addition to the Garner household.
But most of us feasted on pasta with pesto sauce, tri-tip and chicken as served byJimmy Mastretti....delicious...and there was even ome left over!
While the diners dined...the PVR mixed choir sang the following to the tune of "My Favorite Things".
Short lines at Costco and lower gas prices
Things I can read when I can’t find my glasses
Not tied all the time to a cell phone that rings
These are a few of my favorite things
Coffee that’s decaf and non-transfat noodles
Armchairs and Netflix and wine when there’s oodles
Getting my flu shot when it doesn’t sting
These are a few of my favorite things
When the tax bites, when the weight gains
When my feet are bad
I simply remember my Rotary Friends
And then I don’t feel so sad
Working on getting clean water for drinking
Helping a village to get what they’re needing
Ridding the World of what Polio brings
These are a few of my favorite things
I like my Club, we are great friends
And we get things done
With our committees and singing these ditties
Service can be such Fun!
After dinner there was some real sports action as the kids all took a
few swings at the piñata. Here is the other Garner son showing
great form and determination! Shandi is going to have her hands full!Things I can read when I can’t find my glasses

While the kids gathered candy, the assembled sang some of our favorite Holiday songs...ending with a rousing "Here Comes Santa Claus" ...and, by gum, there he was!
OK....lots
of children got to sit on his lap first, and get their gifts. There
were too many to include here...and way too cute to leave any out.
Soooo.. you will have to go to the photo link to their shineing
faces!
To end the festivities, a song of Peace, well sung by the Casual Choir, who had at least 5 minutes of rehearsal out in the hall!
And so...a Happy Holiday to all and to all, a good night!
