Ball Field Service Project Completion: Great Job Group! Congratulations to all, but especially our site leader -- David Lee, plus organizers Peter Adams, Robin Jowaisas and Doug Rutan. A special celebratory dinner is planned for Thursday. Additionally, Lori Ruhlman has an informative news article written, with pictures to document the great work by our town’s two Rotary clubs. Many thanks to Tom Seeley and the Sunrise group team for their help with service efforts.

Last Week: A good “preview meeting” for the Father’s Day Pancake Breakfast was presented by Robin Jowaisas and Chuck O’Neil. Our objective of course is to raise money for our Foundation and its worthy causes. Pre-breakfast ticket sales are the secret to a sure success, so let’s sell our socks off and get the money in the drawer!

Upstaging all last week, however, was the new all time record fine and happy $$ master Karen Price, raising $88! A new very “fine master.” Danny Roche will be back with a vengeance I am sure after losing his title as King of Collections.

This Week: Newly proposed member Cheryl Silvestrini, sponsored by Bill Conole, will become our newest member. Be there to welcome her and enjoy the evening.  Club Assembly for Rotary members will feature a “special dinner” evening. We are sure hoping it will prove to be a meeting you will “not” want to miss. It will be featuring some appreciation & celebration for a very good, solid Rotary year.

 Doug Rutan, our own Mr. President Elect will have a questionnaire for us; essentially, as I understand it asking what “Skaneateles Rotary Club” members would like to accomplish for our community in Rotary year 2009 – 2010.

Rotary Board Meeting – 5 P.M.

Next Week: A classification “Trends in Transportation” by John O’Sullivan; a man always worth hearing. Welcome back.

Benediction & Atonement: First time fine master Jean Sardino will be ready to pick pockets and take our money (assuming that after  Karen Price we have some left) with fines for misdeeds, altercations & no shows on work details.

Phil D’Angelo has graciously offered to begin our meeting with an invocation.
