This Month, the Skaneateles Rotary Club will be conducting another food drive, similar to what we did last year. This involved Rotarians distributing grocery bags with a flyer on neighbors doors, asking for food donations. The Rotarians then collect the bags a week later, and deliver the donations to a central location in Skaneateles. We need your help! How you can participate...
1:Reach out to your neighbors - On Saturday April 16th, deliver a grocery bag along with a flyer explaining what we are doing and instructions to 10 or more of your neighbors. The bags and flyers will be provided to you. Let us know how many you will need.
2: Collect - On the morning of April 23rd, collect the donated food from your neighbors and deliver it to Ed Evan's garage from 11 AM to Noon
3: Delivery - From Noon on the 23rd, volunteer to help with sorting and delivery of food donations to the Skaneateles and Spafford Food pantries. This could take a couple of hours, depending of course on the number of volunteers we have and the amount of food donated.
More details to follow. Let me know what you can do to help!

The Program- A lively discussion regarding the Pancake Breakfast took place. Attending members were in general agreement that, given current circumstances, the breakfast should be held. There will be a firm decision shortly. Andy Stevens is organizing a food drive to benefit Skaneateles and Spafford food pantries. (see article above).

Thank you Ed!!
