Last WEEK Feb 16th, 2023 .... by Ed
Membership/Attendance  - 39 active members, 8 attending
Guests -   Josh Wells (speaker). Conner Finlay (proposed member [see below]); Prospective members: Scott Rogers, Chad Martin & Julie Littlefield.
The Meeting - President Ed called the meeting to order and led us in the Pledge and welcomed our guests and club members. Happy Dollars were shared and Jay reviewed the upcoming Saturday Heavenly Bed project  to be held in Auburn (see the project review below).  The group enjoyed Burgers and Cheeseburgers with the exception of Julie who enjoyed gnocchi with roasted brussels sprouts. President Ed brought a bottle of a Bavarian gin by the name of Monkey 47 (47 botanicals) which was sampled by several attendees.
The Program- American Food & Vending ... presented by Josh Wells.
     Skaneateles resident, Josh Wells, gave a great presentation on his family's privately owned company, American Food and Vending, a 204 million dollar plus company in the contract dining, catering, vending, office coffee and refreshment business across the USA. It was interesting to hear about how their Syracuse based company started two generations ago as well as the many changes in the way that their services are provided. Mike Tierney was able to share his AFV experiences at JMA since they are a  AFS multiple location client. While many of us did not know Josh or AFV, many of us had met his cousin Steve Wells and you may have seen Josh's daughter Caroline grace the cover of one of our local magazines this month.

HAPPY 118th BIRTHDAY, Rotary  ... Ward  
The anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held on Feb. 23, 1905. 
     Stand Proud to be a part of such a significant world wide organization dedicated to World Understanding and Peace.  Take time to reflect upon what you and your club has done to do and promote good works in your local, national and international communities and rededicate yourself to continuing these efforts and projects in the Future.
