T.J. says, "We have been residents of the Macedon community since 2006, when we relocated from Farmington. We enjoy spending the summer wherever there is water, love the Lake, and hopefully will have a pool some day in the future. I am not sure how many happy bucks that runs, but it would be worth the price! I look forward to becoming an active member of the Rotary Club, and I am excited that it offers the opportunity to loop my family and my branch team into community service here in our area."
