2009 Service Project: This Monday Peter Adams made a presentation to the
Skaneateles village board regarding some ball field improvements we are
proposing as a service project for this spring. Next week he will present similarly to the Town’s Board. David
Lee has offered to assist with actual construction. More information at
our next assembly and upcoming Skantarians. Assuming all works out, it will be a
2009 “Spring” project. Gentlemen, Thank You.
Michele Tarnow has regrettably informed us
she is resigning, citing economic pressures relating to her expanded
responsibilities with Kodak in Rochester and the corresponding commuting,
leaving her little spare time. We
wish her the best and hope to have her visit as a guest from time to time.
Last Week: Bill Conole and visiting Marcellus Rotarian Jerry Ferro gave a presentation on the Lourdes
Camp’s 100-acre lakefront campus. They discussed renovations, including the boathouse among
other structures. Great job
gentlemen and thank you. It seems
there may be some service project or fundraising potentials at Lourdes for us
to consider.
This Week: Dinner will be at Rosalie’s
Cantina at our regular time. Come early for libations and camaraderie. No program as such is on our agenda. A good time to relax, have a great meal.
Bring a friend or prospective
member. Not just one person has
mentioned the Syracuse round ball game at the Garden – no worries, it’s a
9 P.M. start.
Next Week - March 19:
Board meeting at 5 P.M. -- Normally, a club assembly would follow but with the Sherwood
closing during the week of March 9, we have had to make some changes.
Dinner Program -- All pork, not exactly
Congressional Pork, but rather Pork Chops and Pork Lobby. A representative of an organization
promoting pork as a healthy meat alternative will present reasons for
increasing pork as part of our diet. I can only imagine the number of pork
jokes there! Next week’s meal; don’t bet against something full of pork.
Benediction & Atonement: Jack Priest who
has been among the missing for what seems like most of the Winter
will give one of his patented invocations. Welcome back Jack,
no pork!
