Novemberfest comes to Rotary!

Posted by Susan Kealey

At our recent Thursday lunch, we celebrated Novemberfest featuring our very own EJ Dieterle on the accordion.

We took a moment to review an Alliance for Smiles slide show—something to whet our appetites for Joe’s photos which will grace our website soon. The slide show, with a helpful narrative from Joe, provided a peek into the world of a team of dentists, pediatricians, plastic surgeons, dental hygienists and others who make cleft palette surgery possible. It was amazing to see patients who saw themselves for the first time post surgery. Needless to say, Joe’s work with Alliance for Smiles is exciting.

For the Novemberfest, EJ and his new uber-modern Roland Accordion (with synthesizer no less) entertained us, led us in rousing song and provided with interesting tidbits of history and lore about Octoberfest. To sustain us through all of this fun and revelry, Catherine and David Yaque’s café, Seville Tapas provided theme-appropriate fare—delicious!
