PRESIDENTS' CORNER ... by Pres., Bill Conole
Points of Inspiration 1 - Attended an Auburn Rotary Club meeting last week where the Auburn Club inducted 6 new members, 3 women & 3 men, all under 50. The Auburn Club now has 46 Active members, 21 Honorary members & 8 Corporate members. Equally impressive, the club has raised nearly $150,000 over the past 2 years. Recently I've visited 8 Rotary Clubs. A few clubs are thriving & some are withering. In the coming months we should focus on how & why clubs are thriving & why some are withering. 2 - Clear Path - Visited Clear Path for their Wednesday "Canteen" weekly luncheon for veterans. Inspired by the many veterans my son Francis & I met & by their strong & warm comardery. Immensly impressed with the Clear Path Canine Program Orientation our September 6th Speaker Ryan Woodruff gave us. 3 - John Katko - Impressed witht the many thoughtful questions our members posed to John Kato. Our members inquiries made for a stimulating evening. 4 - Next Week -Auburn Doubledays Baseball Game. Join us for a relaxing evening in Falcon Park as the Doubledays cap off a successful season. Arrive early, (around 5:45) to park close to the stadium. Watch our club president throw out the 1st pitch like Sandy Koufax. 5 - Special thanks - to Tim Donovan for setting up our John Katko meeting & for coordinating our Doubleday Baseball Game meeting next Thursday.
