Help Needed Before this week’s May 1st Rotary Meeting!!!
In preparation for
our Pancake Breakfast Ticket Sales Kick Off meeting on May 8, we need to bundle
the thousands of adult and child tickets into the packets we will be selling. So as in years past, we need a work
session to put together the ticket bundles and this will take place at 5:30 PM
at the Sherwood before the May 1st meeting. Lee Overstrom, our ticket sales maestro,
will be in charge and will have good words of instruction and encouragement so
please join in if you can.
New Member - Jim Gregg!!!
Effective April 24th,
Jim is the newest member of the Skaneateles RC; his formal induction will be
scheduled for May 8th. Jim is a welcome addition to our Club! When
you see him, please welcome him and thank him for joining us in our efforts.
