NOTICES of NOTE - Board of Director's meeting at 5:00 PM this Thursday
PANCAKE BREAKFAST ADVANCED TICKET SALES- Congratulations to John Moran our chair of ticket sales and to all Rotarians who did an outstanding job this year selling tickets in advance of the breakfast. Advanced ticket sales this year so far are $10,705 with several Rotarians yet to turn in their monies. This is almost $700 more than last year so “way to go” John for all your hard work and leadership. Also to be congratulated are the following Rotarians as top sellers: Ward Vuillemot $504, John Moran $463, Timer Whittingham $345, Noel Gettman $326, Gard Lorey and Chuck O’Neil $320. Thanks everyone for a great year selling tickets. ... by Robin Jowaisas

Change of the Guard: From Cheryl to Bill
“I truly thank all members in our club for the great support and kindness you gave me this year. I only wish that I could report that I learned this year how to crack an egg with one hand. But I still can’t!” Cheryl Silvestrini. With that quote, Cheryl continued documenting the remarkable year that the Skaneateles Rotary Club experienced. She gave praise to Bill Conole for speakers and Skantarian articles, Guido van der Ven, Christmas Food Pantry, Robin Jowaisas, Pancake Breakfast, Amy Tormey for membership and her work on women’s forum, Ward Vuillemot for new web site, facebook page and help in securing Rotary matching grants, Bill Buterbaugh for RI Foundation and PolioPlus giving, Lee Bennett for student exchange program and to members and officers of the Rotary Board and Skaneateles Rotary Foundation Board.
Cheryl, in an emotional tone, reflected that it is with sadness that her year has ended. But she felt very fortunate and honored to lead and work with such a talented and committed membership. “Each week you all “light up Rotary” with extraordinary deeds and accomplishments, no president can ask for more. Thank you all so very much!!!”
Cheryl’s final action was giving Bill Blessing the Rotary presidential gavel and her best wishes……then a warm embrace!!

“Rotary must not content itself with being anything less than a movement affecting the lives of all men and women; its requirements are so simple, its doctrines so universally acceptable that its sponsors are not visionary in thinking of Rotary as an all pervading influence.” ... Paul P Harris, The Founder of Rotary” 1928
