A New Rotary Year

 

Mike Williams, left, hands over a $2,000 check to new Malta Sunrise Rotary President Larry Levine at last week's meeting. Mike was closing out his campaign fund (he ran for town supervisor last year) with charitable contributions. His Rotary donation is for specific causes we have supported: $750 for AOET Uganda, $750 for QMC in Lesotho, and $500 for our local scholarship fund. 

Larry took over from Miles Cornthwaite on July 1, the start of the Rotary year. He, Miles and Mike are also among the club members who have served previous presidential terms.

At the business meeting, we discussed the successful wrap-up of our project to assist the New York Race Track Chaplaincy in cleaning up cabins and brush at Pine Grove camp on the west side of Saratoga Springs, where the families of track workers will be spending the summer.

And we discussed plans to help with a free summer lunch program for children in the Ballston Spa School District (which includes most of Malta) operated by the First Baptist Church of Ballston Spa.
