Meeting and Donating

 

Standing by the Panera restaurant window was Bob Bonney, our tech guru overseeing the Zoom connection from this morning's hybrid meeting.

 Several members participated via Zoom, as did speaker Elena Alvarez from the Schenectady Rotary Club. She and our president, Larry Levine, have been discussing a possible joint "disc golf" fund-raiser, and a committee of our members will look into it.

In other business, we voted to donate $200 to Gift of Life International, with which our Rotary district is closely associated. Gift of Life's CEO, Rob Raylman, was our Zoom speaker on March 25. A connection made at that meeting with Paul Phillips (seen this morning at center of photo below) has identified a Ugandan child with a serious heart problem who may be helped by the program.

Cleaning Up Ain't Hard to Do

 

We do a cleanup on Dunning Street (and a bit of Plains Road) twice a year, and this was Saturday's crew, left to right: Kristen Stanley, Miles Cornthwaite, Paul Phillips, Barbara Conner, Mike Williams, Travis Fealy, Larry Levine, Bob Conner. Mike's wife Jackie was behind the camera.

On Thursday, we had our first in-person meeting this year at Panera, east of Exit 12, with some Zoomers participating from home. We'll do it again this Thursday morning at 7:15.
