NOTICE of NOTE -  Board of Director's Meeting this Thursday @ 5:00PM
PANCAKE BREAKFAST - SAVE THE DATE! .....
by Chuck O'Neil, Chair ; Mary Giroux, Vice-Chair
Believe it or not, the annual Father's Day Pancake Breakfast is only 10 weeks away! Father's Day this year is June 19th, so please mark that date in ink on your calendar, as well as Friday, June 17th AM and Saturday, June 18th AM for set-up, and Monday, June 20th AM afterwards for tear down. This year will mark our 48th consecutive year holding our Club's biggest fund raising event and we need every Rotarian to participate to insure its continued success! Our event has raised cumulatively over $500,000 since our first Breakfast in 1968, adjusted for inflation! So please schedule to be in town that weekend to help out at this "fun filled" community event! This service project, which supports many worthy causes, only works if every Rotarian makes a full commitment!
BREAKING NEWS-  BOOKS FOR THE WORLD
by …. DG “Mac” MacDonald
Marcellus School District has thousands of good books that they are packing.  Perhaps up to 10 pallets!
     These “orphan books” need sponsors at $225 per pallet.  That’s less than $.13/lb.
     No lifting...no sorting…no packing.  Just $! We’ll label each sponsored pallet with your club’s name.
     Accomplish a meaningful international avenue of service project handled by Rotarians at every point.  This is a terrific bargain and a great opportunity for your club.
Simple 3-step project:
1) Decide to help hundreds of kids learn
2) Write check for $225 made out to CNY Books for the World, Inc.
3) Mail check to: CNY Books for the World, Inc.
