Tremendous Dinner Meeting on Oct. 23
Master Story Teller now Helping Youth
Understand Today's Complex World
Bring your Spouse!
Yes, we have a great treat for you on Oct 23 at the Launch Club.  Join your dinner mates in hearing Anthony Zuiker, former Producer of TV's CSI, who has authored several books helping kids understand today's world.  It is complex enough for you - Divorce, Cyberbullying, Body Image, Racism, School Shootings - how do kids handle?  Anthony has authored, with his wife, Michelle (native of Buffalo), books for school age kids using story lines and 'scripts' which help students understand, cope with, these modern subjects.  Mike Billoni, thru his contacts has arranged this tremendous program for us. Bring your spouse, bring your friends!  You must call Chris Learman so she can give the Launch Club a good count on Monday.  Unique and wonderful program, be there!
 
Supervisor Candidates' Night, A Real Success!
Good Turnout - Good Rotary Club Exposure - Great Interact Participation
A wonderful evening, showcasing Rotary's involvement in our community, and especially in showing our ability to involve High School Students from the Interact Club in a very public way.  Having several Interact students introduce and read questions to the three candidates, having other students collect questions as 'runners', all demonstrated Rotary's unique position of being able to bring students into service to the community.  And what a way to get Rotary's name directly in front of the Town's most community minded citizens!  Thanks Mike Billoni for spearheading the project and getting the Interact involvement!

Leadership Spots in 2020/21
President-Elect Sherry Miller will be President in 2020/21, you knew that.  Please help her fill out a Leadership Team for that year (starting July 2020, AKA just 8 months away).
 
Please consider taking the Pres. Elect post in 2020 /21, as a prelude for Presidency the next year.  Sound like TOO much of a challenge?  Perhaps as a team, Co-VP's then Co-President in 2021/21.  Sure, it's a challenge, but many have done it, rewards and satisfaction follow. Talk to Sherry.
 
There are also a Director position (a 3 year slot) and Secretary position to fill.  In addition, Director Mary Haggerty needs at least one Member to join her on the Scholarship selection committee.  Those High School scholarships are a very important feature of our support to youth - join in the process of selecting outsatanding service-oriented youth.
