The Rotary Club of Fredericksburg was blessed at its December 15 meeting with a Christmas concert by Fredericksburg's legendary pianist and vocalist Duncan Holmes. Following a delightful Christmas lunch, Duncan played a selection of Christmas songs to start the concert, then President Jim Franer led club members and spouses in a Christmas sing-along. Duncan began with a Mannheim Steamroller composition, in which he alone matched the majesty of that group's performance! His rendition of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" was especially moving! Thank you Duncan!

💙 A heartfelt thank you to the Del Rio Rotary Club! 💙

We are so grateful for your generous $200 donation to the Fredericksburg Rotary Club’s Water and Hygiene Project in Karagwe, Tanzania.

We know how busy you are with your own incredible projects serving the Del Rio community, which makes your support of our international work even more meaningful. Your gift helps us build much-needed toilets and provide hygiene training at Omurusimbi Primary School, where 1,100 students were sharing just 4 toilets when we visited last summer.

Thank you, Del Rio Rotary, for living out the spirit of Rotary and helping us change lives across the globe! 🌍
