PRESIDENTS' CORNER ... by Pres., Bill Conole
SALUTE TO OUR MEMBERS - I want to take this opportunity to salute the members of our Skaneateles Rotary Club for how much you do individually & collectively to serve our community. Our District 7150 District Governor, Marv Joslyn, is encouraging clubs to plan & to implement “Acts of Kindness”. From my decade long experience with our club I know that our members are performing selfless acts of kindness on an almost daily basis throughout the year. In a future column I will list some of the good works & major events & projects our club carries out. CIVIL DISCOURSE - One of the most appealing aspects of Rotary is its’ ability to bring people from various backgrounds, faiths & professions together to serve the common good. Two of our recent meetings amply demonstrated that Rotarians can engage each other in civil discourse. Reflect on how valuable Rotary is to our community & to our wellbeing. Without question Rotary helps knit our communities together. MEMBERSHIP - To ensure that Rotary continues to be a positive force in our community, our goal in the coming year must be to strive to build our club by recruiting new members. I urge every member to recruit new members. RALPH JURGENSEN - Best wishes to Ralph as he undergoes surgery this week. Ralph has been a stalwart member of our club since 1978 & is a friend to all.
