eClubs - TRY THEM, YOU'LL LIKE THEM - For those of us the want to stay in touch with Rotary but are unable to make all of our club meetings, a Rotary eClub is a great option. They are a source of excellent information, project ideas, a window into Rotary activities around the world, and they qualify for an attendance make-ups. You can find time by going to the RI website's Club Finder, which you can find at the top of site's home page, or access direct at; https://www.rotary.org/en/search/club-finder I have visited many eClubs when I am at our condo in Cedar Key, Fl (kinda remote to any Rotary Club). One of my favorites, and very complete eClub is the; Rotary eClub of Southwest USA at: http://www.recswusa.org/ . I would be interested in hearing from other Skaneateles club members, about the eClubs that you explore. Try Them, You'll Like Them!.... Ward
LAST WEEK:Thirty Rotarians & their guests & spouses gathered in Rosalie’s “Upper Room” to review membership retention & for a night of Rotary Fellowship. Roberta Williams welcomed everyone to this annual meeting by reviewing some of the strategies our club & other Rotary clubs use to retain members. Roberta urged all of our members to seek out & to welcome potential members to our club.
Roberta introduced two of our newest members, Mary Popovich & Suzzett Grinnals , & invited them to make their “classification talks”. Mary Popovich noted that she is a business owner, a former educator & an active community member. Mary works two days a in the Seymour Library. In the summer Mary is a resident of the Thousand Island Park. Mary was drawn to Rotary by their renown ethos of service. Mary looks forward to serving our community & our world by joining our club. Suzette Grinnals is a retired special education teacher. Suzzette was brought up in a Rotary family. Suzzettes’s dad has been a member of the Chittenango Rotary Club & served as club president twice. Suzzette’s sister, Roberta Williams, has served as our club president recently. Suzzette looks forward to joining her family’s tradition of serving others through Rotary.... by Bill Conole
