December 4th Attendance & Missing Faces:  There were “34“ Rotarians at last week’s meeting and “3” guests.

 

Last Week’s Program:  Linda Roche gave a history of how she began working in real estate including all the hardships, long work days and sacrifices that people tend to not see or don’t remember are part of the process of becoming successful. Linda gave a mixed outlook for the next few years and some very solid advice on how to weather the recession. Great presentation! We were fortunate to have the best in the business give us her views and answer many questions. Thanks Linda!

 

This Week’s Program:  Thursday, 12.11 is our annual Skaneateles Country Club fundraiser. We all need to be there participating and contributing!  If you have a drawing gift contact Todd May or Jack Hyatt.  Please BE THERE.  

 

Next Week’s Program:  The annual SRC Christmas dinner at the Sherwood Inn. Bring your better half, a friend or significant other person. Be sure to check in and sign up with Sue Keefe and choose from one of 3 menus offerings.  

 

Benediction & Atonement: No fines or Happy $$$ this week. Put your contributions in the envelopes at the country club. Let’s make this the best our best Holiday fundraiser ever. It is truly a time of need for  many. Last week Dick Kokosa gave a great short presentation on patience and wisdom, plus knowing our personal limits and living within them. Excellent lesson to carry with us Dick, thank you.
