Duck
Race Dates discussed
At
our Club Assembly October 4, Club
Members, along with Visitarians: Ward Vuillemot and John Hennessy, discussed
possible dates for the proposed Duck Race fund-raiser.
Ward
advised that he has contacted Baldwinsville’s Rotary Club and they have ducks
available to rent but that we ought to secure a date early so that they are not
spoken for.
After
a brief discussion, we settled on three possible dates: Memorial Day; the
Antique Boat Show weekend and the Curbstone Festival weekend. We are seeking input from club
members so please let Marion know if you have any thoughts or ideas.
A location still needs to be determined for the race.
Previously we have discussed using the Outlet and collecting the Ducks at the
Creekside, pending permission from Erika Davis. One suggestion was to piggy back this event with the
Historical Society’s effort to build a boat museum. Under that scenario, the
ducks could be dumped in at the historical society, travel under the bridge and
be picked up behind the Creekside. Another suggestion was to see if the pools
at the Rec. Center could be used in some way, perhaps by having the water
current swirled in some way and setting up a maze of sorts.
If anyone has any further ideas or interest in taking a
more active role in planning the race, please let Marion know. We will discuss this again at the next
Club Assembly.
October: Vocational Service Month
Every October, Rotarians are encouraged to
focus on vocational service. Rotarians are urged to discuss The
Four-Way Test and the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and
Professions.
This special month is a great opportunity to
begin planning vocational activities for the entire year, including awards
programs and community projects.
Rotary

held on February 23rd, 1927, at the Skaneateles Baptist Church and there were
present 20 business men from Skaneateles, nine Rotarians from Auburn and four
Rotarians from Syracuse. Subsequent meetings were held at the Baptist Church

G. Stuart, Vice-President; H. Winslow Thurlow, Treasurer; Arthur B. Bond,
Secretary; Herbert C. Williams, George W. Tucker and Harry C. Wallace,
