Hello Everyone. We had a good club meeting last evening with general agreement by attendees for our club to take the following actions to help our community deal with issues arising from the current COVID-19 situation:
Father's Day raffle - this effort will be led by Lee Bennett Tyler Lorey, Craig Froelich and Lori Ruhlman. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit local needs arising from the COVID pandemic.
Food Drive - this effort will be managed by Terry McCormick, Ward Vuillemot, Andy Stevens, Gary Ozminkowski and Mary Giroux.
Details on both of the above will be provided at next week's Zoom meeting, Thursday.

The Skaneateles Central School District, in conjunction with support from our community members, the Skaneateles Ecumenical Food Pantry, and Skaneateles Outreach, is offering meals to anyone who needs them in the difficult weeks ahead. Breakfast and lunch are available to any family, regardless of income, who needs assistance at this time.
Our kitchen will be open to prepare meals for our community over the next few weeks. You do not need to have children in the school system, and you do not need submit any financial paperwork. These are unsettling times, and we, along with the generous support of our community, will be extending our table to all of our families.
