October 30 Attendance & Missing Faces:  There were “ 36 ” Rotarians at last week’s meeting (attendance 69%).  Missing:  Adams, Bentivegna, Gregg, Keefe, May, Moody, Price, Priest, Renner, Tarnow, Veverka, Weaver, Whalen

Last Week’s Program:  Jack Emmer gave us a great look at a career as a college coach with some insights into life’s lessons learned on the playing field and their lasting effects.  Another terrific classification discussion that was surely worth being there for.

This Week’s Program:  See the attachment invitation for this Thursday’s meeting at Skaneateles High School. Bring a friend or acquaintance who might be a good Rotary addition to our ranks. Also should be a fine opportunity to meet this year’s inbound exchange students and this year’s Skaneateles RYLA winner, Bea Carlson.

Next Week’s Program:  Club Assembly dinner meeting & board meeting at 5:00 P.M., November, 13th. Rotary member only meeting.

Benediction & Atonement:  Because of our location this Thursday maybe we should pass on fines and happy $$$ for the week. We do have a rather special grace / invocvation planned prior to our meal that will help tie into this week’s events.

Of Note:  Dick Kokosa will miss this week’s program at the high school due to some fairly minor, but previously planned for and necessary surgery. He’ll be up and around, but staying home for a few days.  He surely would love to hear from any who are so inclined.
