Pancake
Breakfast Ticket Sales: At our May 7 meeting, Chuck
O’Neil our ticket czar will be kicking off ticket sales for our annual
Father’s Day Pancake Breakfast. As always, each Rotarian will receive a fair
share of tickets to sell prior to the breakfast, June 21. Please mark your calendars to arrive at the Sherwood Inn at 5:30 for
the annual “ticket bundling cocktail
party” on the west porch. Chuck
promises to have lots of rubber bands to bind together ticket packets. Fast
counting YE students are always appreciated. Robin
Last Week’s
Program:
SU’s Marilyn Higgins gave a great
presentation on Syracuse’s “potential” future urban restoration and
development, including the future the I-81 / I-690 corridors. Importantly,
Marilyn addressed why it is meaningful for our community as a whole for SU
along with other organizations to participate in this effort.
This Week’s
Program:
Auburn Mayor Michael Quill will be
with us, presenting a “state of Auburn”, addressing Auburn’s economic issues,
direction and future, plus answering questions. A solid community interest
evening!
Next Week’s
Program, May 7: Pancake Breakfast Kickoff Meeting, our premier event
& fundraiser;
June 21.
Benediction
& Atonement: Karen Veverka’s
invocations are always thoughtful, meaningful and well worth hearing; this week’s will surely be no less. Last week Ralph Jurgensen, the week’s acting fine
master, found out who reads the Rotarian with a “spot quiz”. Nice touch Ralph! Atonement penalties this
Thursday will be aptly be doled out by Jean
Sardino and she is going to come ready to rock
& roll, so bring your $$$.
Of Note: Carol & John Shannon are vacationing in Paris and Doug Rutan has been working the
People’s Republic of China, now that is piling up frequent flyer miles!
