December 7, 2018 was notable in more than one way. It was the 78th Anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, it was one day before George's BIG birthday and it was the 2018 edition of our annual Christmas Party. 
This years party was held at St. Annes Hall, on a cold and blustery night. The highlight of the evening was the meal prepared by all members. This photo shows what remains of the buffet table after members went through the line. 
Eating wasn't the only thing going on during the evening though! During the week, Pam indicated that a new Rotarian from Moncton was collecting good used purses which she was going to fill with soap, shampoo, a tooth brush, toothpaste and other lady items for distribution to needy women in Moncton. 
As can be seen by the picture, members stepped up and donated over 20 purses, which Pam planned to deliver to Moncton the next day. Continuing the Christmas spirit, members open up their wallets to support the Rotary Club of Port Elgin in it's Christmas basket, the proceeds of which went to support the Imagination Library in Port Elgin. The basket was lovely and as can be seen from the list of contents, very full with much needed items. 
The evening was capped off with Santa's Elf (Patricia) distributing chocolate goodies to each table. It was a great start to the Holiday season.
