The Lawrence Rotary Club celebrated this holiday season with the Leahy School administrators and its grade1 to 5 students.
Lawrence Rotary arranged for 6 musicians to provide musical entertainment and elves to hand out gifts. This made for both a most fun and happy celebration! Among the club members who participated were Sean Murphy, our lead elf who coordinated the distribution of gifts to the assembled kids, and Shirley Fitzpatrick and Cecilia Cuesta who dressed in their elf costumes. They also brought sugar and caffeine laden snacks to sustain the adults. Richard Rodriguez was an elf, Ron Hill was Santa, and Ron's wife Janis was the lovely Mrs. Claus. The children's shining eyes and happy, smiling faces told the true story of this holiday season!
The Lawrence Rotary Club sends its best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and holiday season, and a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead!
