Fines, Happy Bucks and Confessions:

• Gary Hopkins had a happy buck for the Pal-Mac Girls’ JV Lacrosse Team. They went undefeated this season. Also, the varsity team’s record was 12-4.

Singing:

Today we sang the Kim Clement original “Today’s Rotary Ain’t What It Used to Be” (to the tune of “The Old Grey Mare”).

Notes and Updates for the Club:

- We received a note from the Fair Queen Contest’s Miss Congeniality, thanking us for our sponsorship and her trophy.

- Rotary night at the Red Wings is August 1. Rochester hosts Syracuse that evening. See Bill Dean for more details, or visit the district website.

- The Interact club is hosting a blood drive at the high school on May 22. If you’ve been thinking of donating blood, that would be a good time to do so.

- There are shifts still available for RL Concessions at the Hill Cumorah Pageant. Kim has the sign-up sheets available at every meeting, or contact her directly to get signed up.

- Eric Chapman is testing the waters to see if club members might be interested in having a Rotary day at the Bills game, September 20. The Bills will be hosting the Patriots. If you would be interested in making the outing, please contact Eric.

- The Camp Onseyawa golf tournament will be June 20 at Silver Creek Golf Course in Waterloo. This annual event helps support our area’s camp for kids with special needs. Entry fee is $400 per foursome, which includes greens fees and cart, lunch, dinner, and prizes. Also available are Greens and Hole Sponsorships. If interested, please see Bob Sloan for an entry form.

- The club committee list for 2015-2016 has been emailed to all members. Please contact Mark with any comments/concerns. If you did not receive the list, it is available on the club website under “News>Club Bulletins” or click here to download the file.

This week’s 50/50 drawing was won by Bill Dean. He won $14, which went toward the purchase a JoJo Ring for Pam.
