Wet, yet Undaunted

Malta Supervisor Darren O'Connor prepares for yet another dunking on Saturday, which was Malta Community Day in Shenantaha Park. Thanks to him and all other Rotarians who helped with our dunking booth, and to members of the public who participated and the Round Lake Fire Department for filling it up.

Dunk or Be Dunked

Malta Community Day is tomorrow, Saturday September 7, at Shenantaha Creek Park on East Line Road.

Stop by our Malta Sunrise Rotary's famous Dunking Booth and try your luck, skill and arm at dunking our Rotarians and brave volunteers. If you're up for that dunkee gig, contact club President Mike Williams or just stop by tomorrow.  All proceeds go to charitable causes and local needs.
Special thanks to the Round Lake Volunteer Fire Department for filling the dunk tank tomorrow. 

State of the Town

Malta Supervisor Darren O'Connor gave an update on town issues at Thursday's meeting, leading a lively discussion. Topics treated included a potential water district for Maltaville, and trying to get a small patch of sidewalk built on the east side of Route 9 just north of the downtown roundabout at Route 67.
O'Connor, along with fellow club members Paul Sausville (a former town supervisor), Miles Cornthwaite and Barbara Conner, were among the donors Wednesday at our Red Cross blood drive, which produced 28 units.
