The Beginnings - President Dave opened the meeting by welcoming our guests, beginning the Pledge of Allegiance and reminding us about Skaneateles Restaurant Week.
The Program - Suzette introduced our guest, Janine Savage, founder and principal of theSavage Homestead. Janine told us about her journey from growing up in the North Country to ending up in the beautiful Finger Lakes where she and her husband renovated a home and Janine began a new business. When the pandemic hit Janine expanded her candle making hobby to a thriving business with on line sales. The web link to to the store is:https://thesavagehomestead.com
The next step was a brick and mortar location which will be opening on Fennel Street in the village in March. The Savage Homestead will feature home products that are environment friendly, low waste, and reusable. Janine said that the new shop will have an "Eco-chic" theme and introduced the shop's logo made up of lavender and bees to reflect natural products. Thanks to Suzette for introducing us to Janine and her new shop.

Observance of April 22 as Earth Day
and Your Involvement.. Ward
On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was observed to launch a wave of acton to protect our environment, which included the passage of landmark environmental laws in the United States. Every year since, that day has been set aside to focus on mobilizing for action to protect our environment.
As people of action, Rotarians have been shaping the conversation on the environment for years, from fighting pollution that fouls our air and water to addressing climate change that threatens our food systems.
To find out how many Rotarians are building awareness and inspiring action, CLICK HERE to list the website of ESRAG(Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group) is accomplishing, and how you can join in that effort.
Give some thought as to how our club can make a difference on Earth Day and share those ideas with our leadership.
