PRESIDENTS' CORNER ... by Pres., Mary Giroux
Thanks to the hard work, generosity, and talents of all of our Club members we learned that in the 2016-2017 Rotary year our Club provided over $30,000 in fundraising proceeds to local, national and international organizations that make this world a better place. In addition to that, we also gave of our time to help with the morning club's Winterfest, help with the Firemen's Field Days, pack Books for the World, erect some playground equipment and man the Salvation Army kettle at Christmastime. I am sure I am leaving something out. In doing all of that as a Club we had some fun too! I hope you are all looking forward to a new year of Club adventures. I am. Enjoy your week and see you on Thursday.

On Sunday, Jul 23, 2017 at 2 PM, the Skaneateles Rotarians and friends will be selecting and packing children's and reference books at the Annual Skaneteles Library book sales, located next to the Village Hall, in the old fire barn. Once the book sales is over at 2 PM, we will be permitted to glean the books for the CNY Books for the World project. The selected books will eventually make their way to the children in 3rd world countries via the Rotarian BFTW project. The gleaning and packing typically takes from one to two hours. See ye there!
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers." ... Robin S. Sharma
