President John Racine began the meeting, as Rotarians came together to say adieu to 2017 with a gathering full of music and appreciation for our talented town.
Gary Hogue led the invocation.
Amanda Igra, Al Bonney and the Kingsley Trio led the group in an arrangement of the traditional “Dreidel Song” and “Jingle Bells” which was a truly fun (and very optimistic) attempt to mash-up both songs! Creative and celebratory, congratulations to the club for contributing to this collaborative chorus.
Autumn Soltysiak introduced the Students of the Week. Keeping with the theme of representatives from Traverse City West Senior High, the club welcomed and acknowledged the successes of Sophie Kubesh and Andrew Campbell.
Bob Stow announced that, as part of the master plan for sustainability, Rotary Camps and Services recently closed on the property that is currently home to Family Video in Greilickville.
For the time being, it’ll act as rental property, and allows for a better execution of the overall vision for that area.

President John also shared a reminder that there’s no noon club meeting on December 26th. We’ll be back at the Great Wolf Lodge on January 2nd to kick-off another fantastic year of Service Above Self!
Happy Holidays, one and all!
