Spearheaded
by Skaneateles Rotarian Peter Adams, and members of the Skaneateles Rotary
Club, Skaneateles Rotarians will replace and upgrade the fencing at Simms
Field, the Little League baseball field in the northwest corner of the Upper
Austin Park fields adjacent to the Simms Pavilion. The fencing is needed to protect both bench areas and the
bleachers from foul and/or errant balls.
David Lee again has volunteered his considerable expertise in designing
and supervising the installation!
There
are many ways to assist with this important project ranging from refreshments
to getting your hands dirty with the actual fence installation. Sign-up sheets were circulated at the
April 16 Assembly and will be circulated again this week. If you are unable to attend,
please let me know ASAP. This is
an ideal opportunity for our clubs to work together to help make Skaneateles a
better place!
In
addition to the ball field project, mark your calendars for the Pancake
Breakfast June 21 and also for set up the day before, Saturday, June 20 and
break down the day after, June 22.
In addition to doing everything we can to help the evening club maintain
this hugely successful event, our club is again selling raffle tickets for a
lawnmower/cash raffle. This year
Daryle has negotiated with Bobbett Implement to obtain a 42-inch automatic
transmission lawnmower which promises to be more attractive to ticket buyers. Raffle winners who don’t want a new
mower can choose in the alternative $1,000 cash.
Tickets
are $5 or 3 for $10 or 7 for $20.
Daryle Pickering passed out tickets to all those in attendance April
16. If you were unable to make the
meeting, please contact Daryle directly.
Books
for the world on the move to permanent location in South Africa
Thanks to the generosity of
partner transport companies; New England Motor Freight (NEMF) and AAA Cooper
Transportation (ACT), the LASERTransit
warehouse facility and Welch Allyn Inc., six pallets
of children books and textbooks are making the first leg of their trip to South
Africa.
The books are being transported
to Houston to become a part of sea-container load headed to Johannesburg SA.
Three pallets of these books are specifically ear-marked
for the Rotary Club of Benoni-Aurora who are stocking
the shelves of the JS Malaza Primary School library
and the John Wesley Community Center.
