MEETING
PARTICIPANTS:
For July 31, 21 members and 2 guests attended our
dinner meeting. Attendance reported at 49%.
Jack Hyatt made it back after his successful recovery, looks
great and was gracious enough to provide a pre-meal blessing and a thoughtful
invocation.
Roberta Williams did a thorough job collecting loose $$$$$s
from a smiling and clearly happy base of members and there were several “jolly
good fellows” tossing in 55555s.
Thanks to you both for your thoughtful input and
collections.
DO YOU HAVE
SOMETHING TO SAY:
The Skantarian is our club’s
“newsletter” and can gladly be used for and by all of us to convey news and
messages about our club, its activities and our members. If you have anything noteworthy to
mention about activities or interesting news regarding your family, other club
members, anything you believe we’d be interested in learning about, please
write. A fishing
trip, new arrival of grandchild, great family vacation, a thank you for
something, you name & write it. Send in your “goings on” to Pam Hares (phh@mlsattorneys.com) or John Shannon
(jms@mlsattorneys.com) and it will be
printed here.
SPEAKERS
PROGRAM: Peter Adams gave a wonderful
presentation on his family, its rich heritage in the central NY area including
revolutionary and civil war participation. He wove his upbringing, education, work experience, and
family business into a great story that included his own wife and children and
culminated with his interests and ethical standards. What a great “CLASSification talk Peter! Thank you for sharing.
Next Week on August 7th, Dirk Young
will discuss the now 3rd generation Twin Birch Dairy and what it
takes in 2008 to operate a state of the art dairy with 2,000 cows on 2,000
acres while complying with many Department of Environmental Conservation
regulations and a changing Skaneateles economy, landscape, and population
base.
BOARD
MEETING / CLUB ASSEMBLY / AUGUST 14: Again as in July we’ll go with a Rotary

compliment as you wish. We expect Larry
Calabrese, our own Rotary “Governor” to be with us that evening.
