The Program 
> Dana Coye’s 100th Birthday - was celebrated at the Sherwood Inn with family and fellow Rotarians & Guest . Dana has been a Rotarian for 62 years and served as President of the Skaneateles Rotary Club in 1973. Jack Hyatt MC'd the event and along with Lee Bennett & Bill Buterbaugh, spoke about Dana’s life in the Skaneateles community and his work in Rotary. Dana is a World II veteran and was a Sergeant  in the United States Army in the Pacific theater of war. He is definitely a member of the Greatest Generation. It was an evening filled with special memories  and good cheer!  In attendance were many plus Dana's family: Wife Dotie, Jim and Judy Coye, and John and Connie Bouck

The Ending:  Ed & Bill B. led us in the (Four + one) Five Way Test.
Food Drive a Great Success! ... by Mary
Rotarians, Scouts  and family showed up at Ed's house on Saturday morning to drop off the generous community contributions for our 5th annual food drive.  Thanks to Andy for organizing the event, Ed for making yummy breakfast sandwiches, and Bill B for refreshing mimosas. The donated food was delivered to the Skaneateles and Spafford food pantries.  Andy estimates that over a ton of food was collected!  There were also some monetry donations which will be split between the pantries.  Skaneateles is a generous community, always ready to help our neighbors.
