The sights and sounds of the holidays are upon us. I have heard children singing, an orchestra playing and even a grocery store clerk humming Christmas carols. The tree is up and decorated! The stockings are hung! Our house is lit like a beacon so Santa can find us! And...

I call this time of year "Guilt-free Shopping Season!" I like to shop. My mom and I could shop 3 entire malls in one day! Even in the rain, the mall was bustling. I do love buying gifts for the people I love the most. I'll bet you do, too! I have also responded to those in need with hoodies, toys and a warm place to stay. And so have you! Thank you!

This week, Dale Cardwell will share some tips on getting superior service with a little holiday twist! Let's finish this guilt-free shopping season strong!

Join us Friday night for the Holiday Party! Fly Betty will be rockin' the house, so come party with your friends! It's not too late to sign up!

Oh, next Thursday, December 20, is our Christmas Program and last meeting of 2018 (can you believe it)! Be sure to wear your UGLY Christmas sweater--there will be PRIZES! We have lots of surprises in store for you, so bring the kids if you can and be ready for some fun!

Don't forget that the Entrepreneurs Workshop would make a great gift for anyone that currently runs his or her own business or dreams of doing so! This would also be a great way to introduce young business people to Rotary! Sign Up Now!

See you Thursday!
