Rounding out the year

 
 
The Rotary calendar year restarts on July 1, so this is the last month for our current leaders, time for renewal of memberships and when we transition to new themes and goals. In looking back on our year, we have accomplished a lot!
 
We have a dozen new members.
 
We have raised over $10,000 and distributed thousands back to the community through contributions to local charities and scholarship to high school students.
 
We have a new sign that is being installed along the canal.
 
We brought back the Pride of Workmanship dinner and presented five awards to employees nominated by their bosses for being such hard workers.

We held our annual 5K Run/Walk for Hunger last fall and doubled our donation to the Baldwinsville Community Food Pantry.
 
We've had bunco nights, book club discussions, cooking classes, conference fun and so much more.
 
Our club is dynamic and growing and we would love to have you join in on the adventure as we start a new year serving our community!
 
 
 
Thanks so much to everyone who came out for this wonderful event. We lucked out with the weather after a storm in the morning, our entertainment was rocking all day and into the evening, the food was delicious, the animals were adorable, the activities were never-ending and there were so many smiling faces. We outpaced last year's duck ticket sales with 2,759 ducks racing on the river. We couldn't have asked for more!
