News & Notes

Feldman to Sunrise Rotary: 

Take a [Creek] hike

         Curtis Feldman thinks our club should take a hike, or at least make it easier for others to do so.

         Curt, who graciously agreed to speak to our club at the last minute, suggested our club adopt the Creekwalk as a potential service project.

         Being involved with the tourism industry, Curt has noticed that there is little for visitors to our community to do after then have spent some time browsing through the shops. 

One idea that has percolated over the years is a Creekwalk connecting Parmalee Park on the outlet to The Creamery.  This would be particularly relevant right now as The Creamery prepares to build a new boat museum adjacent to its current facility.  

The project would involve building some type of trail along the south shore of the Creek with a bridge crossing to the museum just before Kelley Street.

The project is particularly attractive, Curt says, because many of the property owners along the south shore of the Creek already support the project, at least in principal. 

 

Notes from DG Marlene Brown

The following is excerpted from the most recent notes from our District Governor, Marlene Brown:

As of 2:00am on March 31st, the District 7150 team (composed of District Governor Marlene Brown and eClub NY1 Rotarians Earl Lewis and Brad Brown) returned from our trip to Haiti. After a few hours sleep, Earl (District Grants Chair) and I spent the day completing the Matching Grant for our Water project in Haiti. View pictures and blog here:

We also submitted additional Matching Grants for our ongoing India project.

View additional information here:

http://www.rotarydistrict7150.org/IndiaProject.htm Donations to either one of these can be used toward Paul Harris Fellow or Major Donor Credit. We’ll start listing Clubs who donate to these projects soon.

lThe Presidential Citation Certification form applications are coming in.

They  needed to be sent to your District Governor by April 5th at the latest. R. I. President Wilf Wilkinson will hand these out at our June Changing of the Guard at Turning Stone Resort. I’ll notify Clubs who earned the Citation by week’s end.
