The Program- Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce update by Hillary Fenner.
Hilary brought us up to date on the Chamber's activities. Despite the challenges of the past two years the Chamber has adapted and added new events. Downtown Restaurant Week and the Skaneateles Downtown Passport Event both bring business to the Village. The annual Easter Egg Hunt has morphed into a week long scavenger hunt which has been a great success. This year it will take place beginning April 8th. On May 11th the Citizen of the Year and Skaneateles Inspire Award dinner will be held at The Lodge so save the date! Upcoming summer events include the Curbstone Festival and the Antique Boat Show. Our club will be partnering with the Chamber and the YMCA for the Duck Dash, held in September. Many thanks to Hilary for her leadership at the Chamber and for sharing with our members!

PolioStoppers still Stop'n Polio
Pictured is PDG Randy Wilson at his PolioSociety display at the 12022 PETS conference this past weekend. This year PDG Ward has supplied Randy with a little over 50 of his PolioStoppers to supplement Randy's effort to End Polio Now. This brings the total to over 360 PolioStoppers Ward has created and donated to raise over $3,500 to eradicate polio since the PolioStopper project's inception in 2016.
