THIS PHOTO OF SANTA (THE REAL SANTA) WAS TAKEN SUNDAY NIGHT AT
"BEAR CREEK" (FORMER KFC BUILDING NEXT TO PIZZA HUT) AT THE
MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB CHRISTMAS DINNER AND PARTY. AFTER
A DELICIOUS MEAL SERVED BY AMBER EDWARDS AND STAFF, SANTA CAME TO
FIND OUT WHICH ROTARIANS HAVE BEEN NAUGHTY OR NICE. HERE WE
SEE CONNIE TJARKS, PRESIDENT OF THE ROTARY CLUB ALONG WITH
RETIRED HUSBAND, DAVE. HE'S ALSO HER "Go For" AT HER INTERNET
BUSINESS, "KNOT ENOUGH THYME" knotenoughtyme.com AND SHE REMINDED
ME THAT SHE IS HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE AT HER BARN SHOP THIS
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17TH FROM 9 AM UNTIL 4 PM FOR CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING. FOR YOUR GPS, THAT ADDRESS IS 12201 - 288TH AVENUE,
MAQUOKETA.
THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY IS MAQUOKETA'S OLDEST SERVICE CLUB (NEARLY 75) AND MEETS WEDNESDAY NOON AT THE EAGLES CLUB ON EAST PLATT
STREET. I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR OVER 40 YEARS. ANY MAN OR WOMAN
IS WELCOME TO COME ANY WEDNESDAY AND SIT-IN (HAVE DINNER WITH
US) AND SEE WHAT ROTARY MEETINGS ARE LIKE. THE MAQUOKETA
ROTARY ALSO HAS A WEB SIT. JUST GOOGLE MAQUOKETA ROTARY.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM PRESIDENT CONNIE TJARKS AND THE 30 MEMBERS
OF MAQUOKETA ROTARY.
