You can never tell who you'll meet under the mistletoe at a Rotary Christmas party!  This year Bob Bunsey and Shawn Mueller got a little closer! Current Secretary Carl Commons is pondering which dish to try first for dinner! Ever the ladies man, Dr. Craig Phillips' wife Cheryl keeps a close eye on her man as Dana Trunzo and Peggy Stokes pause for a picture. No one goes home hungry from a Rotary Christmas party! Doug Harper (a guest from the Westlake/Bay Village Rotary Club) can't bear to watch all the festivities!
Hyacinth & Shawn Mueller, who knew Shawn had such long arms...maybe this solves the mystery of the lipstick on the cheek... It's great to get the spouses involved in Rotary.  There's no better way to start than with a party.  Here, Kathy O'Conor and Paul Kantor stop to pose for the photographer. Paul Graupmann is telling Bambi Charboneau how great it is to have his wife Ann as the designated driver so he can sample some of the Naughty Elf beer! Paul Kantor, Rebecca Mueller, Doug Charboneau, and Joe Martin want to know...WHAT'S FOR DESSERT?!?! Ralph LeRoy can't believe his wife Kathy agreed to become President of this club in a couple of years!
The spouses get a chance to talk about their husbands to try to figure out what really happens at those Friday lunches (from left to right, Renee Liston, Carol Klear, and Terri Martin). These OSU fans are trying to figure out how they got stuck attending a party at the house of a Michigan fan (from left to right, George Stokes, Paul Kantor, and Kathy and Casey O'Conor). Warren and Pat Blakely are as festive as ever in their red and green! Doug & Bambi Charboneau (the bookends) are just happy that this year's party is at someone else's house.  Rebecca Mueller (2nd from the left) is taking notes since they host next year.  Anita Bunsey is laughing since Bob as the Treasurer will never have to host one of these shindigs! Greg & Kim Cromwell get to share a moment alone.
The Cromwells and the Stokes pause for a quick picture. The First Lady (Shannon Sonnhalter) takes a break on the couch for a couple of minutes to take it all in!  She's just happy that Rebecca and Shawn Mueller will be hosting next year! Bob Kirkpatrick is wowing his wife Audrey and Vicki Commons about the fish that got away (Joe Martin is either eavesdropping or hates to miss a photo op!). The inspiration for the Men of Rotary calendar is born (from left to right, Charboneau, Stokes, O'Conor, Kantor, and Phillips)! Pete & Dana Trunzo are really able to enjoy this party after planning last year's!
The Zimbelman's and Alberto's take a load off and try to get some peace and quiet in front of the Christmas tree. Tom Klear says Tom takes a rest after the fantastic dinner and desserts. Warren always knows how to spot fantastic artwork!
