Rotary Rocket - May 9th, 2013 Edition
Frank Doherty introduced the speaker, Tom Sturiale, a former co-worker of Frank's from Corning, and previously President of Jamesbury. Tom discussed some of his career history, and some leadership principles.
Val Callahan, along with leading our club in song, wanted to let the club know that currently, our club has $78 per capita donations to The Rotary Foundation under Frank's year as President. We need $1100 more dollars to make it an average of $100 per capita. Once we do that, we move to the head of the cue to qualify for more grants for NIC View and other projects. Right now, District Governor Rich Dietz will match you for up to 200 Rotary Recognition Points for every dollar you contribute up to $200. Also, we will use Rotary Recognition Points to give Kate Moody a Paul Harris Fellow to thank her for her service to our club. Membership Chair Bob Mangan stepped right up and donated $50, and several other club members joined him.

Finally, Chris Crowley mentioned that Polar Beverages donated Ginger Beer(makes a great Dark and Stormy), and Pomegranate Sangria Seltzer to the Rotary District event. Thanks Chris! Not just for the donation, but because the Pomegranate Sangria flavor is terrific!
New member Liz Foss pulled her own ticket in the raffle - but gave the money back to the club. Thanks Liz!
