Oops They Did It Again - Trivia Night
Oops They Did It Again - Trivia Night
Cue Britney Spears because oops they did it again.  The fabled Irish Mafia team comes away with another Trivia Night win at RCLP's famous Trivia Night contest.  Congratulations to the team.   There was tension in the air at the end of the 8 usual rounds as a three-way tie developed for second and third place causing a three playoff questions (of increasing difficulty).  The ranking of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th positions was determined by the judges.  Overall fun and laughs through the evening as the well-attended event is sure to have raised a tidy sum for literacy efforts in our area.  Thanks to all for playing.

Our May Roadside Cleanup
Our hearty roadside cleanup crew (L to R) Greg, Mary Liz, Andrew, Peter, Randy, and Harris braved the steady rain while working along fast-moving cars on Rt.73.   As you can see, several bags of litter, debris and rubbish were collected from our designated stretch of the road.  Looks like that tire was the most interesting piece of roadside litter in this collection session.

At today's meeting, we presented Savannah Corrow with the 2025 Kate Smith Scholarship Award.   This is an annual award to a deserving junior or senior at Lake Placid Middle-High School.  The award includes a cash prize of $1,000 with the intent that the money will be used to defer the cost of college applications or other college related expenses.  Our club has made this aware each year since 1994 to remember the accomplishments of long-time summer resident Kate Smith (5/1/1097 - 6/17/1986).  Please enjoy Savannah's performance of "O Del Mio Dolce Ardor" here:  https://youtu.be/_f20jrSypFo
