Lima Rotary's 2011 Halloween Party
On Oct. 29th the Lima Rotary Club held their annual Halloween Party for the children of our community. We got together in the afternoon to decorate the Lima Fire Dep't hall. Then at 6 PM the children (and their parents) started to arrive. Each child was given a bag of goodies upon entering and then they could play the Pin the Nose on the Pumkin contest, the Blinky contest, get the "eye" ball into the pumpkin contest, the bowling contest, the bean toss game as well as a coloring contest. There was popcorn, donuts and cider for everyone to enjoy. The highlight of the evening is the costume contest were the judges have to choose the winners. Below are pictures of this event.

Lima Rotary Club's Christmas Party
On December 16th the Lima Rotary Club celebrated their annual Christmas Party. Once again this year George & Fran Gotcsik offered to host this event at their home. We were very happy to have a number of guests join us this year, Gov. Jeff Krans, AG Lynn and Manny Freshman, PDG Don Alhart, Jim & Evie Kirkwood, Dan and Susan Marcellus, Dom and Nita Geneva and John & Sharon Neenan. Each of the members were asked to bring a dish to pass and the club payed for the meat. There was more than enough food for everyone and the desserts were outstanding. After dinner we were very proud to award three Paul Harris recognitions to Michelle Robles, Renee Lynees and Jim Kirkwood. To receive a Paul Harris recognition you or someone on your behalf must donate $1,00 to the Rotary International Foundation. Paul & Betty Lou Tilly made this donation and wanted to honor their daughters, Michelle and Renee, with these award. The club wanted to honor Jim with a Paul Harris for his support for our fundraisers for many years. Jim also volunteers with the Lima Amabulance and the Teresa House in Geneseo. It was our great honor to have PDG Don Alhart and Governor Jeff Krans on hand to hand out these awards. The pictures below will let you see what was happening at this party.
