President’s Minute and Announcements

Posted by Shawn McConnell on Mar 23, 2017

President Karen’s "Fine People" are all those who participated and worked the Pancake Breakfast.

Dr. Dave Hannan's vision of raising funds for maternal health in our region became reality when the board approved $30,000 to be donated to the Baby and Me Tobacco Free program at the Newark Wayne Community Hospital. The check presentation will be made in April.

The board also approved the donation of $380 to Sonnenberg Gardens for the purchase of a rocking chair made in Malcolm O’Malley’s memory.

The board approved $1,000 towards the Family Day Program for the installation of a shower at a local day center.

The club will apply for a $4,000 district simplified grant to equip a bathroom at the Laurel House.

The board approved an annual dues increase from $155 to $160 for the 2017-2018 Rotary year.

The Progressive Dinner needs 6 additional homes for the main course portion of the evening.

Last Week's Program

John Tickner introduced Chris Tuttle of CMAC, who began the meeting by donating tickets which were auctioned off for an upcoming show. Chris discussed the advantages that CMAC has over venues, to include those in large cities, such as its location near Canandaigua Lake. They try to catch shows which are between large cities in the area. He described the set-up for a concert and all that is involved in bringing a performance to CMAC. We certainly enjoyed his talk and learned more what makes CMAC such a great venue.
