Front Desk Duty!!!

Joe Bianculli and John Buterbaugh are the scheduled front desk members for our next club meeting on Jan 8th. Remember that if you will not be able to attend the meeting you are scheduled for it is your responsibility to find a replacement.

Santa's Elves

Ed and Bill B earned the designation of honorary elves. Thanks to their planning we had a great Holiday Party. Ed and Bill also provided and served delicious holiday cocktails for our enjoyment. If you see them be sure to say "thanks".

Beautiful Music

We were treated to beautiful music by Byron Lee at our Holiday Party. Byron played Holiday Music and club members sang along. A special treat was Byron's own song about Skaneateles in the winter season. Many thanks to Byron for making the evening special.

Congratulations to Al Coates

It was a special evening for Al Coates at our club Holiday Party. Al is our newest Paul Harris Fellow. He is pictured here with his wife, Joan, Bill B and Andy.

Congratulations Al......well deserved!!

We Broke Our Record!!

Our Holiday Basket dinner was a huge success. Attendance and funds raised were the highest in our history! Thanks to the leadership of Marv Langley and his Rotary Elves over 230 attended our dinner and from all reports had a great time for great causes. Proceeds from the Silent Auction and donations from attendees will be split by the Skaneateles and Spafford Food Pantries and Skaneateles Outreach. A small share will be placed in the club's endowment fund to help fund future projects and worthy causes. Special thanks to Silent Auction donors who contributed quality items. Also a shout out to John Rooney from the morning club for his invocation and Rita Keyes from the Skaneateles Pantry.
