Last Week's Program:  Thanks to Dr. Jamie Ciaccio, Director of Emergency Department, Scott A. Berlucchi, CEO and John Baran, CFO from the Auburn Memorial Hospital for the outstanding presentation about the hospital’s financial turnaround plus the addition of new highly skilled physicians in many medical disciplines.  It was also announced that Auburn Memorial Hospital will have an association with the Neurosciences Dept. at Strong Memorial allowing rapid consultation via telemedicine for treatment of stroke and other neurological conditions.  We are hopeful to have representatives of Auburn Memorial and Strong Memorial back in the early Spring to give us further details of the technology and systems that save critical minutes in the treatment of stroke. 

This Week's Program:  Kristen Sanford, Women’s head rowing coach will speak this Thursday.  Kristen is back for her 10th season as head women’s rowing coach.  The goal this year is to have each boat, each individual improve enough throughout the course of the season to have Syracuse selected to be one of the 12 schools selected to compete for a national championship in May 2009.

OCTOBER 25th, 2008 - Rotary Foundation Seminar
Our 2008 District-wide Rotary Foundation Seminar will be held Saturday, October 25th, at The Links at Erie Village in East Syracuse, from 8:00am to 1:00pm. The cost of $35 per person includes breakfast and lunch. Speakers will share information about what an amazing difference in our communities and in the world The Rotary Foundation is making. This is an excellent time to learn more about our Foundation, why it's important to give, the benefits to you, and how you can get funding for your Club projects! The agenda for this year's Foundation Seminar has been put together to present a clear and enthusiastic view of what the Foundation is all about. Your participation is crucial to the success of the Seminar and the Foundation.
