The Rotater

Our program today was the Eighth Grade Jazz Band from Wylie ISD, playing Christmas music. Thanks to all of our members who helped with the program, the special food, and the door prizes. Joe Alcorta’s outstanding summary of each of our meetings appears on our club website. Thanks, Joe.
