It is a beautiful Central New York summer day this Saturday. I hope everyone is taking time to enjoy it.
As with the Pancake Breakfast, Rotarians are stepping up to support our "Feed the Community" fundraiser and we are getting closer to our goal. Each year the breakfast is a 100% club effort. Because we are a club that always "goes the extra mile" let's make sure we all participate and exceed our goal! Spread the word to friends and neighbors near and far, after all, people don't even need to leave their houses this year. (altho, I am betting that most would like to!)
We are having some good Zoom meetings and I'm hoping that more can join us next week . Dave Lee has provided some fine pointers.
See you on Thursday. Mary
Jan Jurgensen - Our condolences go out to Rotarian Ralph Jurgensen and his family for the death of Jan last week. The funeral was a private affair with the family. A memorial service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church when allowed. In the meantime please stay in touch with Ralph and lend support at his time of need during the days ahead.
