Francis Marion Hosts Holiday Luncheon

December 18th, 2007: Rotarians celebrated the holiday season with a festive luncheon in the Carolina Ballroom at the Francis Marion. Our sincere thanks to Steve Dopp and all the staff at the Francis Marion for hosting this special event. The hotel was beautifully decorated and the food was outstanding. We were treated to holiday music by Rotarian John Tecklenberg and ensemble, who have been playing together for 22 years.

We also had a special visit from Paul Harris (well, almost). Joseph Stukes, who is a retired history professor and Florence Rotary Club stalwart, rendered an extremely realistic representation of what Mr. Harris would have discussed if he were addressing our club in 1947. The bottom line remains: “We profit best if we serve the best.”

However, pictures tell the best story of this fabulous event. Please look on to see pictures of yourself and friends enjoying the holidays.
