One of our great annual programs as we hosted the Nutley High School Choralettes and new this year, The Chamber Singers.

We had 16 member present and Jane Dinan, Sue Peters and Debbie Rosamilia in attendance. We also had with us Brenda Sherman, High School principal

Dennis Williams and Music Dept. Director James Riley

Walt led the Welcome song and then Happy Birthday for John Dinan.

After a great Lunch from American Bistro we moved into the sanctuary for our music program

Next week we will be back at Franklin Steakhouse for our meeting. There will be no evening meeting again this month as we will hold our annual Family Christmas Party on Friday 12/15 at Parks & Rec Room 300 – 6 PM

$20 per family – if you are bringing children, please bring a wrapped gift for Santa to give them.

I want to thank all the Rotarians who came out last Saturday to support our Christmas for Farm Children fund raiser. It was the most successful one yet (our 33rd year)

Jane Dinan pointed out that

Mike Gerbino’s father Ben passed away and his wake will be Friday at Biondi’s – the funeral is on Saturday
