PRESIDENT'S CORNER ... by Prez Bill
Greetings Skantarians! This past week saw excellent attendance and a very moving speaker from a local not for profit organization. I had no idea of the services provided by Hillside, but am certainly glad for their presence and efforts. Thank you PP Bill Conole for arranging. Afterwards the committee for the International Woman's Day event held a planning meeting; anyone wishing to participate , please advise Amy Tormey ASAP; many hands make light work. I would also like to repeat Sunrise Club PP John Paddock's request for support for Winterfest; anyone who missed the sign-up sheet or who has questions, please go direct with John or, if you don't have his contact info, let me know and I will pass on. Thank you & see you next week!
