CAPTAIN Calling

Our speaker last Thursday was Bill Lubin, Runaway and Homeless Youth Shelter Program director for CAPTAIN Community Human Services. He talked about the recent merger and expansion of CAPTAIN, the teen shelter it operates in our area, and outreach programs to homeless teen-agers and others.

Next week, we will hold board and business meetings at the usual time and places.

Chamber Chat

Pete Bardunias, president and CEO of The Chamber of Southern Saratoga County, was our speaker last Thursday, filling us in on what's going on in the world of commerce. He talked, for example, about this possible waste-to-ethanol plant in Halfmoon.
The previous week we held scheduled board and business meetings.

Uganda Report

Barbara Conner (facing camera at right) spoke at our meeting this morning about her recent trip to Uganda. Barbara was volunteering with AOET, under the sponsorship of the Presbyterian New England Congregational Church in Saratoga Springs. They worked in medical clinics and schools, and Rotarians contributed funds. Barbara was part of a team co-led by fellow Malta Sunrise Rotarian Paul Phillips, and his wife, Jean. Paul and Jean have been travelling to Uganda to do volunteer work for 15 years. This was Barbara's first trip.

Next board meeting will be on Wednesday, July 11 at Panera. Business meeting will follow the next day as usual at the Malta Diner.
