PRESIDENT'S CORNER ... by Prez Bill
Greetings, Skantarians! Greetings, New friends, old friends this week. We inducted yet another new member (hats off to Amy Tormey and Gard Lorey), were treated to a great presentation by a recent inductee and were visited by a past Rotary Exchange Student from Brazil and her husband. A very dynamic evening, not to mention there was cake as well! We are rolling up on our June 1 outing to NBT Stadium to catch a Chiefs game with the DeWitt Rotary Club; if you are interested in attending, please let me know. Hope one and all are selling their pancake breakfast tickets apace. Good luck and see you next Thursday. Thank you.

eClubs - TRY THEM, YOU'LL LIKE THEM - For those of us the want to stay in touch with Rotary but are unable to make all of our club meetings, a Rotary eClub is a great option. They are a source of excellent information, project ideas, a window into Rotary activities around the world, and they qualify for an attendance make-ups. You can find time by going to the RI website's Club Finder, which you can find at the top of site's home page, or access direct at; https://www.rotary.org/en/search/club-finder I have visited many eClubs when I am at our condo in Cedar Key, Fl (kinda remote to any Rotary Club). One of my favorites, and very complete eClub is the; Rotary eClub of Southwest USA at: http://www.recswusa.org/ . I would be interested in hearing from other Skaneateles club members, about the eClubs that you explore. Try Them, You'll Like Them!
