The Annual Christmas Benefit at the Country Club
$13,000 was raised raised for the Skaneateles Outreach and the Skaneateles & Spafford Food Pantries at the annual Turkey Dinner event at the Skaneateles Country Club. Co-Presidents, Mary Giroux & Cheryl Silvestrini welcomed more 205 Rotarians, their spouses & guests who gathered in the Skaneateles Country Club to support the needy in our Skaneateles Community. Rotarian Dan Roche let us in song and the Rev Becky Coerper, Rector of the Skaneateles Episcopal Church offered a blessing. Following a fabulous turkey dinner and good fellowship, many gifts, donated by local merchants and Rotarians, were raffled off by Rotarian, Bill Conole. The evening ending with the group joining in on signing Silent Night, let by Dan Roche.

Skaneateles Rotary Club
Meeting Structure Proposal
The purpose of this proposal is to revise, expand and advance the meeting schedule for Skaneateles Rotary Club meetings that will help attract new and particularly younger club members and increase participation/attendance opportunities for all members. Its objective is fourfold:
To offer more times and different meeting opportunities
To increase the number/frequency of small and/or local service projects younger people like to be part of, for an hour or two on weekends, while at the same time increasing visibility of the club and its “service above self” mantra.
Reduce the demand to fill the Rotary calendar with speakers in favor of fewer, but more high-powered, significant speakers.
Provide enough changes to how and when the Skaneateles Rotary Club better meets the community’s needs and the demanding/changing schedules of its citizens
These changes will be implemented on a trail basis for the 1st quarter of 2020.
