Fines and Happy Bucks:
    Gary Hopkins is a very happy hunter this week, having won a Weatherby 30-06 rifle at last weekend's Turkey Federation raffle!
     Pat VerPlank recently donated her very large collection of Rotary displays from various District and Club events to Historic Palmyra. Thanks to Pat for her years of hard work for the Club.
     Stacey Wicksall recently attended a Librarians conference in Albany. She will also be “going to jail” in an upcoming MDA fundraiser, and asks Rotarians to help “bail her out” for a good cause.
     Eric Chapman and his wife, Edie, recently checked off one of their “bucket list” items with a 10-day trip to Cuba. This has the makings of a future Rotary program!

Rotary Announcements:

      The recent Dessert Gala to benefit the Rotary Foundation netted a total of $569.50. Members who missed this event are reminded they still must pay their $5 RF obligation for the year.

     President Kim announced that the Club has received approval for next year's District Simplified Grant application to provide handicap-accessible picnic tables for area community parks: two for Palmyra village park, and one each for Bullis and Gravino parks in Macedon.

     President-Elect Gary Hopkins presented Bob Sloan with a check for Camp Onseyawa in the amount of $3,262. This represents the proceeds from this year's Murder Mystery Dinner.

     Next week's meeting – Wed., March 15 – will be run by members of the Pal-Mac Interact Club. Please plan to attend this annual event.
