See the article above to get to know Reece a bit. Reece said he was excited to be a member and he intends to jump in feet first by participating in the Earth Day cleanup of the Charlie Major trail. Welcome to Reece and we look forward to meeting you at an in person meeting. Food Drive Update - Andy reported on the successful food drive which delivered over 80 boxes of food for the Spafford and Skaneateles food pantries and raised over $3600 to be donated to the pantries. Thanks to Andy for leading on this project. The Program - Dave introduced our guest speakers Don Agate and Marie Gingras, owners of Good Eats and Sips restaurant on Genesee St in the village. Don and Marie both have extensive experience in the hospitality industry. Don is no stranger to Skaneateles having worked at many of the local restaurants. Good Eats and Sips opened in June 2020. Don said "Where there is adversity there is opportunity" and he and Marie have proven that by working their way through COVID's challenges including developing a menu conducive to take out, managing capacity, working around supply limits and hiring staff. If you haven't visited yet, stop in and try out the very different menu items which are a welcome addition to the diversity of restaurants in our village. Earth Day - Jay Stith updated the members and said that volunteers are still needed. (see article above) In Person Meeting There was discussion and consensus that we have a meeting at the American Legion pavilion on May 13th. Robin and Bill B will work on making that happen.
