Last WEEK March 02, 2023 .... by Ed
Membership/Attendance  - 41 active members, 11 attending
Missing due to mishaps:  Ayham hit a deer on his way to the meeting.  Oz spent the day at Upstate ER with his wife who had an accident in their home, which required stitches, a MRI and treatment for a broken nose. We wish Barb a quick recovery.
Guests -   Anna Finlay, Brad Littlefield, Corinne Buterbaugh, Ron Fay (speaker) with Troop 61 representatives; Kevin & Finn.
The Meeting - President Ed called the meeting to order, welcomed our guests and club members, led us in the Pledge, the Four (five) Way Test.
Heavenly Bed Project . Jay reported on the project.  It was the largest production of beds they have ever had in one day.  "They actually had to shut us down ......"
The Program- Boy Scouts of America, Troop 61, Skaneateles ... presented by Ron Fay.  Scoutmaster Ron and his two scout representatives did a great job supported by video updating us on the activities of the troop and what being a Boy Scout has meant to them in becoming responsible young adults.  Chuck Williams reminded Ron that he had him as a scout in his Troop back in the day and shared what scouting had meant to him when he went into the armed services.  As part of his requirement for Eagle Scout Kevin gave a five minute presentation on what scouting has meant to him and the similarities of the guiding principles of the boy scouts and of rotary referencing the four way test specifically.  A very well thought out and delivered presentation.
New Member Introduction -  Bill Buterbaugh, supported by Ed, inducted Conner Finlay into Rotary with his wife Anna at his side. They made it an evening out as they had their 2.5 year old daughter at home with a babysitter.

Join us at the scenic 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel in Clayton, New York for the first conference including all three districts that are the future CNY Rotary. Make it a weekend getaway for the full experience or drive up Saturday morning for an overnight event. The weekend will include opportunities to learn new ways to serve our communities, great food and drink, and time to connect with one another. There are discounted packages for kids and teens, so bring the whole family. Be sure to register early for the best rate and contact the hotel directly to book your room. 
We hope you will come out to get inspired, meet new people and have a lot of fun!

Rational Rotarianism 
by Paul P. Harris, founder of Rotary
     If by interposition of Providence I someday were to find myself standing on a platform in some great Coliseum looking into the eyes of every living Rotarian and were to be told that I could have one word to say, without an instant’s hesitation and at the top of my voice, I would shout "Toleration!" 
     It was in pursuit of it that the Pilgrim fathers embarked in their frail craft upon the stormy waters. It was from the chrysalis toleration that lustrous winged Liberty, awakened by the music of the sweetest toned bell on earth, sprang and floated away that July day in Philadelphia, while the world dreamed and wondered. 
     If this Rotary of ours is destined to be more than a passing thing, it will be because you and I have learned the importance of bearing with each other's infirmities, the value of toleration. 
     Rotary is entirely without precedent in the history of clubdom. We have had no rules except such as have been gathered from the creative imagination of the men who have been responsible for our destinies. As mariners, long before the invention of the compass, successfully navigated perilous and unknown seas by the guidance of the stars, so they, the forefathers of Rotary, observed the rules that have from time immemorial influenced the lives of men, skillfully guided their craft in perilous, unknown, and trying circumstances. May we never, in times to come, depart from the safe course of rational toleration and humane consideration of the convictions of others.
