Donations and other Business

 

Light catches the topmost sapphires on Bob Bonney's Paul Harris Fellow pin, awarded at last Thursday's business meeting to mark his contributions to The Rotary Foundation.

We voted to donate $500 to ShelterBox, $200 to Impactful Education (for libraries in Ivory Coast), $115.50 to a Saratoga County Sheriff's Department child safety initiative in collaboration with the National Child Safety Council, and $50 for the Ballston Spa High School after-prom party. 

Also discussed were an upcoming collection effort for the Malta Community Center food pantry; ...

... and the "Make Your Mark on Malta" project, in which we, along with the Malta League of Arts and funded by the Malta-GlobalFoundries Foundation, are planning to put up banners in town. For more information including how to participate, see poster below:


   In other business, Scholarship Chair Paul Phillips said his committee has chosen two winners of our scholarship awards, for $1,000 and $500. (Their names will not be released yet.)

Paul and his wife Jean also were honored this week as residents of the month by the Malta Town Board, for their work with AOET Uganda.

This Thursday's speaker will be Day Dream Farmer Aliza Pickering.

On Saturday morning April 12 we'll be doing our semiannual trash pickup on Dunning Street -- meeting at 8 am near Forest Cleaners.
