No Dry Humor This Friday

Head to The Roselawn Restaurant in New York Mills this Friday as we honor Utica Rotary's immediate Past President Jack Altdoerffer. Utica Rotary's Past Presidents have arranged a summer picnic beginning at noon in the outdoor pavilion at the Roselawn. For a measley 10 bucks, you can dine on yummy summery outdoor fare. Following lunch and our business meeting, IPP Jack will receive his just desserts.

Outdoor summer attire is encouraged, and guests are welcome.  If you're not at The Roselawn at noon on Friday, you're all wet!

Raise a Racket With Rotary

The start of the Rotary Tennis season for 2007-08 is less than a month away, and the league is looking to expand.  Please contact league president PP Gib Jones, or league VP For Life Fran Pugliese if you are interested in playing.  All ability levels are welcome. We play on Thursday nights from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at the Paragon Racquet Club.  League members are scheduled for a half to two thirds of the sessions, with plenty of opportunities to sub if you want to play more.

Urban Concerns Committee Needs Your Help

The third annual Run for the Children Weekend will take place on September 8 and 9. Barry Depot of Wal-Mart (a good partner of the Columbus School adoption project) has organized a Miracle Mile Fun Run (sponsored by the Carbone Auto Group) on Saturday, and certified 5K and 12K runs (sponsored by Beacon Federal) on Sunday. Last year's weekend raised more than $13,000 for the Children's Miracle Network, and the goal is to top that in 2007.

Please see PP Dave Jones or any Urban Concerns committee member if you would like to volunteer as a course marshal, or help in any other way.
