LAST MEETING: Dec 19 - Rotarians, their spouses & guests filled the West Wing of the Sherwood Inn for our 2014 Club Christmas Party. Our festivities began with cocktails & hors d’oeuvres on the West Porch.  Everyone enjoyed the excellent Sherwood dinner entrees. Beautiful “Holiday Music” was provided by four Interact Students from Skaneateles High School.  All four students are accomplished musicians & vocalists. For several of the songs Rotarians & their guests joined the musicians in singing traditional holiday songs. Lori Ruhlman introduced our Rotary exchange students Bartek from Poland & Marcus from Brazil they were each given a Christmas gift from the club.  Karen Price introduced our Interact Students & musicians. President Cheryl had each table introduce their spouses & guests.  In keeping with the evening’s long standing tradition Dan Roach closed the party by leading everyone in singing Silent Night.
