On Tuesday, December 23, Jess Johnson, Bob Dill and Doug Means led RCPCers Ed Reith, C.C. Collie, Chris Clausen, Susan Rogers and Ley Waggoner in the annual Vet to Vet Christmas Party at the VA hospital. (SEE PHOTO JOURNAL) Truck loads (literally) of contributed food and clothing arrived right on schedule (well, this was master-planned by Jess) as something on the order of 75 volunteers from many sources (Scouts, Jesuit, etc.) came together to share in the warmth of the holiday and serve approximately 750 meals to our veterans. Most meals were hand carried to the rooms of the vets as they were unable to come to the dining room. Marc Hall (Amore, Cisco Grill, Peggy Sue BBQ) and Robert Ellington (Kathleen's Sky Diner) among others provided great food. Mighty fine project. Thank you Vet to Vet folks!!

Great fun (see Photo Journal) was had by about 125 Rotarians, spouses and friends as Park Cities Rotary celebrated at its annual Holiday Party on Friday, December 19 at the beautiful home of Roy and Barbara Washburn. The weather was (miraculously) perfect as we enjoyed having wonderful Mexican food and libations in the festive setting inside as well as on the patio (complete with fireplace and outdoor TV!). Roy and Barbara were, as always, the gracious host and hostess. And enough thanks cannot be showered upon Susan Rogers, Fellowship Chair, who organized, coordinated and planned a party that was absolutely wonderful. She worked hard and it really made a difference! She was fortunate to have Richard Stanford as a co-chair. Richard helped from start to finish with all those behind-the-scenes details that also made a difference. A huge amount of food was collected for The Well Community. It was delivered to The Well the next day. And were they pleased.
Thanks to all Park Cities Rotarians. May you enjoy this Holiday Season knowing that you have Made Dreams Real and Made a Difference in the lives of many this season through Trains at NorthPark, Angel Tree, Vet to Vet, Interact, water projects and the warmth of fellowship.

The folks at The Well Community were very excited by the delivery of loads (literally) of non-perishable food items for their pantry. The 50-60 members of the mentally ill community that The Well serves each day will appreciate the generosity of Park Cities Rotarians for a long time thanks to the generosity of this gift. A special shout out to RCPCer Kirby Warnock and his wife Diann who have been instrumental in making good things happen at The Well. You've gotta love this Club!!
