Rotary International President 2019-20 (RIPE) Mark Daniel Maloney addressed several hundred Rotarians from Rotary Districts 7120, 7150, 7170 & 7190. RIPE Maloney urged all clubs to immediately form “active membership committees”. RIPE Maloney noted that clubs may have to consider different meeting experiences to attract young professional. To increase membership clubs must be innovative. SURVEY - sent to all members was prompted by RIPE Maloney’s M/D PETS remarks.

THE PROGRAM - Baltimore Woods
Thanks to Dale Drake who arranged for Whitney Lash Marshall, Executive Director of Baltimore Woods, to speak.

Each year Baltimore Woods runs a program with the City of Syracuse School District reaching over 10,000 students per year. A variety of other programs are offered for community members of all ages.

ShelterBox
ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that provides temporary shelter and life saving supplies to displaced families. Each ShelterBox typically contains a tent designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, water purification kit, blankets, tools, and other necessities to help a family survive after a disaster. The contents of a ShelterBox are tailored to the nature and location of the disaster.
The Skaneateles Rotary club and a few of its members have made contributions to the effort in the past. This week, the Skaneateles Rotary Club and the Skaneateles High School Interact club join ranks to sponsor an additional ShelterBox.
