Ukraine ShelterBox Donation Grows to $2,000

 At last week's meeting, we donated $200 from the club to Rotary-affiliated ShelterBox for the Ukraine crisis, and undertook additional fund-raising. Our total donation, mostly individual contributions from Rotary members, will be $2,000, it was announced this month. (Post updated from $1,500 previously.)

At Thursday's meeting, Kathy Eitzmann, president of Malta Seniors, updated us on the progress of the organization, which has increased in membership from 90 to 276 over the past half-dozen years. It fosters connection and combats isolation, she said, and has two upcoming bus trips scheduled (see link above).

Mike Williams received a Paul Harris fellowship award from club President Miles Cornthwaite.

Next week's speaker (on March 17) will be Ballston Spa schools Superintendent Ken Slentz.
