Christmas Party Hums with Seasonal Goodwill
Club Meeting Report
Christmas Party Hums with Seasonal Goodwill
The joint Christmas Party with Rotary Hawthorn on Tuesday positively hummed with friendship and seasonal goodwill. More than 100 Rotarians and guests from the Rotary clubs of Glenferrie and Hawthorn were joined at the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club by District Governor Amanda Wendt for a memorable evening of opera classics, musical theatre favourites and familiar Christmas carols. The revellers were treated to an evening of beautiful music from tenor Ben Glover, soprano Leah Phillips and pianist Alex Byrne and the undeniable Ellis(less) Carollers, the latter leading the throng in Christmas carols, one or two with some interesting changes to the wording. Click on read more below for more pictures.
 
Congratulations to the Christmas Party Committee led by PP Dr Mark Ellis AM and comprising Rotarians from both clubs on creating a wonderful event to finish the year.
 
The club is now on summer holidays. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas, and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
 
Merry Christmas everyone!
