Christmas Meeting 2020

Lynne Thompson told the story of the Polar Express and got us in the Christmas mood

Henri Audet did a fantastic job singing The Little Drummer Boy and Jingle bells

Then we launched into a game of Christmas Trivia lead by Jen Simpson. Who knew that a Spider web is good luck in the Ukraine. I must have the luckiest basement in Canada.

A 2020 appropriate Covid Christmas poem was read by Jen S

Followed by Silent Night sung by Henri

We are truly getting very crative in our Zoom meetings and a big thankyou to Jen Simpson Lynne Thompson and Henri Audet for bringing a little Christmas cheer into our Rotary lives.

Merry Covid Christmas everyone.

Happy Bucks
