On Dec.16 , 2019 the Rotary Club held its annual Christmas party at the Ramada Hotel . President Doug Peterson spoke at the beginning of the meal and said there would no meeting but just dinner.  Reverend Hal Wilson offered grace.  The elevators were broken so Rudy and others had to use the freight elevator, however, the extra effort was worth it because  the Ramada put on a delicious turkey dinner.
 
For entertainment, the Hasting and Prince Edward Regional Chorus rounded out a perfect evening.  Fifteen students dressed in Canadian tartan were led by conductor Jennifer Curtis and accompaniest  Claudia Scott. The carolers sang Silent Night in original German and then a variation of Silent Night in English . One carol was sung in Swedish and a Sanish tune was sung with a recorder and bongos.  One young man named Malcolm Ross has been singing with the choir for 8 years and this was his last year.
The choir is looking for new members.  If you know anyone who might be interested please contact Jennifer Curtis at hperc.ca     .
