Message
from our President:
The next few weeks will be a challenging month for our
small club. Program Chair Toni
Feldman has worked hard to schedule many exciting programs for the month of
October. We hope all of our
members who are not out of the area will support these presentations by making
the effort to attend our morning meetings. See our list of interesting speakers in the attached
newsletter.
October 27th is Make A Difference Day. Last year we trimmed the Charlie Major
Nature Trail. We might continue
this project unless we are able to work on our Service Project, which we are
doing with the Evening Club. The
Service Committee is tentatively planning an early morning meeting at the deck
park behind Mid-Lakes on Wednesday morning at 7:30.
Seeley
and Torrisi discuss career paths
Message
from our President:
I would like to thank Tom Seeley and Paul Torrissi
for speaking at our club about career paths and their decision to
live in Skaneateles.
On August 30th Tom Seeley spoke about his move to New York State that led to his position in Milford, Lynch & Shannon. Tom
graduated from Syracuse
with a major in newspaper journalism. After working for six years
in newspaper, the last four at The (Auburn) Citizen, he
soon decided that, although he enjoyed working for a newspaper, he would
continue the profession
of his mother and father
and get his law degree. He
applied to Syracuse University and earned his
law degree. He
soon found a position in Syracuse working at Costello,
Cooney & Fearon.
When
an opportunity opened up at Milford, Lynch, & Shannon, he pursued it and found himself in downtown
Skaneateles practicing law. This
has given him a great professional opportunity. It has also brought him closer to home
on Heifer Road where he lives with his wife, Kara and two children: Tommy, 8 and Jackson, 4.
We are glad he is sharing some of his busy life with the
Sunrise Rotary and using his newspaper talents in “The Sunrise” , the
newsletter of the Sunrise Rotary Club.
On September 6 Paul Torrisi spoke about his decision to
become a Financial Planner at Merrill Lynch. Paul attended Providence College, assuming that he would
continue in his father’s footsteps and enter the field of medicine.
However, he soon realized that his interests were more
suited to business. He obtained a
business degree and was employed by Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch appreciated him for his abilities. When he considered Law School, Merill
Lynch encouraged him to stay with their firm and he became a certified
financial planner. He presently
has 10 years of experience in the field and handles over 50 million dollars.
Paul grew up on the east side of Syracuse in Manlius but
summered in Skaneateles. He knew
he wanted to live in Skaneateles.
He lives in town with his wife Meredith and his 3 children: Jack, age 4,
Ellie, age 3, and Kevin, 8 months. We are glad he is sharing some of his busy life
with the Sunrise Rotary and appreciate his efforts.

Rotary
Timeline – 1916
With World War I raging in Europe, Rotarians from
Britain, Canada, and the U.S. donate money to aid relief efforts and care for
refugees. Elsewhere, Rotary continues to thrive. The Rotary Club of
Havana, Cuba, is chartered, becoming the first non-English speaking club. Two
years later, businessmen in Montevideo, Uruguay, set up the first Rotary club
in South America.
