Rotary Christmas Dinner is Family Affair

One of the strengths of Dryden Rotary is the mix of young and old that the club enjoys. No where is that mix more evident than in the Club's annual Christmas dinner.
With nearly sixty people in attendance from ages nearly 2 and up the evening was alive with excitement as young and old alike awaited the arrival of Santa Claus and his merry reindeer. At one point President Peter Keen even had everyone go quiet and we heard their hooves as they landed on the roof of the Best Western Hotel.
The merriment began with Rtn Marilyn Findlay testing us with a ten question quiz on Christmas trivia. Did you know that the Mouse King in The Nutcracker has 7 heads? One table even managed to get 9 of the 10 questions correct earning candy canes for their scholarship.
As the main course of Chicken Sambuca came to an end with a choice of three luscious tortes Santa arrived and with the help of a couple of very cheerful Rotarians the children spoke to Santa very quietly and left smiling with gifts.
