THIS WEEK ..Thursday, Dec 08, 2016 @ 6:00 PM, The Sherwood Inc ..- Annual Skaneateles Rotary Club's Holiday Party with spouses and friends. (see below)
PRESIDENT'S CORNER ... by Prez Bill
This week saw the culmination of a lot of hard work by PP Peter Adams and the Christmas Fundraiser committee. I wish to thank and salute all concerned for their diligence and sense of urgency, as we had a late start due to some unexpected turnover. Not only was the lost ground made up, PP Adams put his business acumen to work and digitized the entire process. This will greatly ease next year's effort. Outstanding work - well done!
This coming week brings our own Club holiday soiree, with PP Cheryl Silvestrini coordinating. Thank you, Cheryl for working with the Sherwood to create an enjoyable evening for us all. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Be well.
