Skaneateles
Artisans
Skaneateles Artisans co-founder Barbara Gilbert
introduced the Club to the newest retail establishment in Skaneateles Thursday,
October 18, 2007.
Barbara has been involved with Cazenovia Artisans, a
similar organization, for several years.
Along with eight other from Cazenovia, Barbara transformed the former
McLaughlin’s space into a gallery selling the wares of thirty-five (35) member
artists. The shop is an artists
cooperative, which means it is owned by each of the member artists. The artists
pay $160 a month and are obligated to work 20 hours in the store per week. Ideally, they would like to increase
the number of artists to forty-five (45).
Although organized in the same fashion as Cazenovia
Artisans, in the four months it has been open, Skaneateles Artisans has already
established an identity of its own.
The shop has come up with ideas that were never thought of in the
Cazenovia gallery. The gallery
hopes to soon offer art classes and other art-themed programs from the basement
space formerly occupied by the shoe store. In addition, this month the gallery introduced First Friday,
an event to focus the community’s attention on artists and artwork in general.
Skaneateles Artisans features works in a variety of
mediums, including fiber, glass, jewelry, mosaics, paintings, photography,
pottery, wood and furniture, among other things. The entire store is “re-merchandised” every six weeks so
visitors will not tire of seeing the same things over and over again. For more information, visit the
gallery’s Web site at www.skaneatelesartisans.com.
Make a Difference Day
Skaneateles Sunrise Rotarians will
participate in Rotary’s annual Make a Difference Day this Saturday, October
27. Following up on last
year’s successful event, we will again perform trail cleanup and maintenance to
the Charlie Major Nature Trail. We
will meet at 9 a.m. at the north entrance to the trail on Crow Hill Road.
Participants should bring work
gloves, pruning saws and/or hedge clippers and be prepared to work!
Rotary
Timeline – 1943 – Rotary adopts Four-Way Test
Since the earliest days of the first clubs, Rotarians
have been concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional
lives. In 1943, Rotary International officially adopts The 4-Way Test, one of
the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics.
Chicago Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor, who served RI as
president in 1954-55, wrote the initial 24-word test when he was asked to help
save an aluminum company verging on bankruptcy in the aftermath of the Great
Depression. Taylor’s “ethical compass” has since been translated into 100
languages.
“Of the things we think, say or do: (1) Is it the
TRUTH? (2) Is FAIR to all concerned? (3) Will it build GOODWILL and
BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? (4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?”
