RECAP: Holiday Singers Welcomed to Rotary
Last week, instead of a speaker we enjoyed a musical event provided by the Loveland Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The nine songs were presented a capella  and included both Christmas selections as well as other favorites (see full list in last week’s Rotogear). Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all Rotarians!
