Garden City Santaland Parade

November 30, 2024

Members of our club joined the Garden City Rotary Club in the Garden City Santaland Parade on Saturday. Tammy Bonifield had the honor of pulling the Rotary float in her pickup truck bed.

Organizers reported it was one of the coldest Santaland Parades ever, but it didn't stop the participants from having a great time! The annual parade attracted 1,610 participants across 88 incredible entries, with the help of 117 volunteers.

Braving the cold were club members Erin Dobbins, Dave Stechholz, Victoria Haltom, Tammy Bonifield, Susan Paluchniak, Claude Kendrick, along with Jim Lenze (Garden City Rotary Club President), and Interact Club members.

Club Breakfast Meeting at George's Senate Coney Island

November 27, 2024

Our club enjoyed a special breakfast meeting at George's Senate Coney Island last week. It was a fond reminder of what we have been missing since we stopped meeting in area restaurants.

The owner, George, came out and gave our group a brief history of his coming to America and working his tail off to become a successful business owner.

This occasion marks our second club visit to George's. All in attendance agreed we should make this an annual Thanksgiving time tradition.
