Malta Sunrise Rotary member and state Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner gave one of her regular updates at yesterday's meeting. There was spirited but civil conversation about controversial state legislation regarding assisted suicide, abortion, drivers licenses for illegal/undocumented immigrants, and marijuana legalization, as well as the quieter topic of how people can navigate changes to the STAR property tax exemption.
Last week's speaker was Natalie Sillery of Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region, which is planning to establish a new house in Lake George. Also at that meeting, our member Mark Braaten discussed the upcoming Tour de Cure for the American Diabetes Association. And Bob Bonney reported on our recent pancake breakfast, the proceeds from which included a $100 donation to our host, the Ballston Spa VFW, and about $800 for our co-sponsor, Leatherstocking Honor Flight.
Speaking of upcoming events, tomorrow (Saturday May 18) is a Rotary District 7190 Day of Service at the backstretch worker camp (Pine Grove Christian Camp) located on Grand Ave and Pine Rd in western Saratoga Springs. Needed are painters, and people with gas powered leaf blowers, chain saws, and rakes etc. for general yard cleanup.
