Local Rotary Club Video Goes to Conference
At the request of District Governor Bill Parker, this video by the Spruce Pine Rotary Club was given prime time viewing on a giant screen at the dinner convocation of the District Conference in Concord, NC on April 21, 2012, receiving resounding applause. Rotarian Doug Sudduth says, "When he made his annual visit to our club last year, he was so 'smitten' with the singing that he initially wanted the group to come to the annual District Conference to sing. That was a stretch to get enough of us to make a day trip to Concord, so he then asked us to make a video."
If you visit the site, please check "like" (if you liked it) and even
make a comment. The video was made by local videographer, Sandy Phillips.
Gayle Elkins provided the lively piano accompaniment.
Doug Sudduth is a photographer, member of the Barbershop Quartet "Local Fourcast," and a resident of Bakersville. Local musician Terry McKinney was recruited by Rotarian Bill Carson (Orchard at Altapass) to join the choir for the event.
