PROGRAM
 
 
We were entertained with several songs by Charlie McNeal and Donnie Cox.  Recording artist, Charlie McNeal hopes to become a household name across America.  Rest assured, overnight success isn’t something that Charlie is interested in and he is working hard to make sure he is making music that is true to who he is and something of which he can be proud. 
 
Charlie McNeal is a local, 17-year old talent.  He was recording in LA last week, and has a Christmas song coming out. He is a talented guitar player and singer.  He will be singing his original Christmas song at the December 15th Hollywood Christmas parade, which will be televised on the CW network.  His success has all come from a Facebook Live performance. 
There will be no Rotary meeting on Thanksgiving
