Reservations - even single tickets - must be made by Wednesday, the 4th - by email (amy.a.tormey@gmail.com) or by phone (315 559-1549)
Any changes in number of existing reservations must be made by then also.
There is always a Rotary table, so single reservations are not a problem.
After that, members will be held accountable for $30 per ticket reservation regardless of attendance, as the final count will be given to the Country Club.

Making-up in Rotary-talk, is not about making-up with a lost friend, is about visiting other Rotary clubs in your immediate area, or in other parts of the country, or in the world as you travel for pleasure or business. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet many interesting Rotarians and to make new lasting acquaintances, and glean new and interesting ideas for projects to bring back to our club. I have traveled to many places in our world in my professional life and as a tourist, and have visited Rotary clubs on those trips when ever the opportunity has been available. As a result, I have life long friends around the world. During my business travels, I seldom spent a weekend alone camped out in a lonely hotel room as my new found Rotary friends shared the part of the world with me, and I have learned more about Rotary and it many wonderful works than I could in a lifetime of local club meetings. Try it, you'll like it.
The home page of the Rotary International website at: https://www.rotary.org/en has a link at the top of the page entitled Club Finder.
