MEETING Nov 16, 2023 .... by Mary
The Beginnings: Bill B opened the meeting by leading us in the Pledge and welcoming our guests:  John Devons, a friend of Marv's and soon-to be member Pam Stern.
Announcements: Quite a bit of club business was covered as follows:
  • John M passed around a sign up sheet for Salvation Army bell ringing at Tops beginning the weekend of December 8th.  John and Rosemary are in charge of this service project.
  • Bill B reviewed the upcoming calendar.  There will not be any regular club meetings in December.  The Holiday Basket dinner is Thursday, Dec 7th and the Club's Holiday Party will be on Monday, Dec 18th at The Sherwood.  More info to follow.
  • Marv brought us up to date on the Holiday Basket dinner.  It will be at the Country Club on Dec 7th with cocktails beginning at 6:00.  The cost per person is $42.  Tables of 8 or 10 are available and there will be Rotary tables for singles or doubles.  Be sure to let Craig (cfroelich75@gmail.com or 405-517-8831) know what you would like for reservations.  Jay is collecting payment for the dinner with checks payable to:  "Skaneateles Rotary Foundation".
  • Bill B reviewed the annual drive for contributions to Polio Plus and The Rotary Foundation.  Be on the look out for a letter from Bill in the next few weeks.
  • Mary reviewed the upcoming officer, board and committee chair vacancies for the 2024-2025 Rotary year.  If you're interested in stepping up, please do so.  It is a great way to be involved in the club.
  • Jay, chair of Service Projects, asked club members to let him know of any ideas for future projects.
The Endings:  We closed the meeting with the Four (five) Way Test.
Dictionary/Thesaurus Project 2023 ... by Ward
Last Tuesday, the 15th, SRC President Doug and Project Leader, Craig, distributed 95 Dictionary/Thesaurus books to 95 third graders at the State Street School.  They were assisted by Principal John Lawrence.  Each book is individualized with the child's name and is accompanied with a letter to the parents with a brief description of the Skaneateles Rotary Club's services to the community.  This project has been a long standing community service since 2010 and remains a vary popular event with the children.
Rotarians serving their community ... Ain't it Great!
HOLIDAY BASKET DINNER
    Plans are under way for our annual Holiday Basket Dinner to benefit the local food pantries and Skaneateles Outreach.  It will be held on Thursday, Dec 7th at the Skaneateles Country Club. You can reserve a table of 8 or 10 by emailing or calling Craig at cfroelich75@gmail.com or 405-517-8831.  We are also seeking items for the Silent Auction which was a great success last year. If you would like to donate an item or can solicit an item from a local business let Marv know at:  langmarvin55@gmail.com or 315-651-6420.  Payment for tables should be payable to:  The Skaneateles Rotary Foundation.  Please give your payment to Jay.
