PRESIDENTS' CORNER ... by Pres., Mary Giroux
Rotarians making a difference.......Let's support Polo for Preemies, a cause obviously near and dear to Chris Cheney's heart! The NICU at Crouse is a dedicated group of professionals taking care of our tiniest and most fragile fellow Americans. And, on a more global basis, Books for the World, a program Ward has been instrumental in developing over the years. Your help with packing and sorting on Sunday afternoon at the Village Hall is appreciated. Bill Conole's dedication to our weekly program scheduling makes our meetings a source of great information for what is happening locally and abroad. Bill welcomes new ideas for our programs. And, Cheryl Sivestrini's raffle will give us the opportunity to financially support the many requests we receive from organizations that make this world a better place. Let's all sell a few tickets (and maybe win a bit). We can all make a difference as Rotarians by supporting these causes. See you next week!"
