News & Notes

Last Meeting – CLAW Veterinary Brief

Dr. Megan Williams and Dr. Linda Meier discussed Clear Lakes Animal Wellness (CLAW), their new jointly operated small animal veterinary clinic. CLAW is located next to Skan-Ellus’ Drive In to the East of the Village on Route 20. Megan Williams lives in the Auburn area with her husband, a large animal veterinarian. She has worked various jobs in Syracuse but wanted to work in a small community. Frustrated by the number of established veterinarians in Auburn, she and partner Linda Meier decided to open shop in Skaneateles. Clear Lakes Animal Wellness opened in May next to Pretty Paws across the parking lot from Skan-Ellus.

Linda lives in LaFayette and has owned her own practice in Brewerton for many years. After graduating from Cornell, Linda originally sought to be a horse veterinarian but later switched to small animals and joined the Brewerton practice where she eventually entered into a partnership and, later assumed sole ownership. A native of the Honeoye area, Linda is no stranger to Rotary. In high school, Linda was active in her Interact Club.

Rotary Minute – Humanitarian Grants Program

Humanitarian grants enable Rotarians to increase their support of international service projects that provide water wells, medical care, literacy classes, and other essentials to people in need. Rotarian participation is key to project success.

- Matching Grants assist Rotary clubs and districts in carrying out humanitarian projects with clubs in other countries.

- District Simplified Grants enable districts to support service activities or humanitarian endeavors that benefit local or international communities.

- Volunteer Service Grants support he travel of qualified Rotarians and their spouses as they plan needed projects or provide essential services in a community.

- Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants fund long-term, self-help, and grassroots development projects that use a sustainable, integrative approach to address humanitarian needs.

The Humanitarian Grants Program is a key element of The Rotary Foundation mission to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
