LAST MEETING, May 16th.... by Mary Giroux
Wow!!!!!What a night it was!! The Club's third annual Spring bash, "The Preakness Party," was enjoyed by all. Club members, spouses, and friends all joined together to enjoy an evening of good company, good food and drink and a great review of the Rotary year for the Skaneateles Rotary Club. The festive event was arranged by Bill B and Ed who also provided the delicious Black Eyed Susans. Bill B did a great job of emceeing the event. See the articles below in this week's newsletter highlighting our club's accomplishments, which were celebrated at this event. In addition, we all sang "Happy Birthday" to Chuck O'Neil who just completed another trip around the sun. Lee Bennett filled us in on the International Youth Exchange Program which is active again.
If you see Bill B or Ed be sure to thank them for all of their efforts in organizing a great evening.
The Ending: Prez Doug Hill. led us in the (Four + one) Five Way Test.
