Here is What You Missed at This Week’s Rotary Meeting!
David Bagley
The Rotary Club of Utica is the area’s largest and fastest-growing. We are pledged to service in the best traditions of Rotary, and enjoy great fellowship at our Thursday luncheon meetings at the Yahnundasis Golf Club, where we have a fine program each week and plenty of comment, conversation and good humor. Our service projects and commitments range widely, and we sponsor events and causes through our dedicated Members, including Youth Exchange and Internship programs and more. We believe the ideals of Rotary have never been more important than they are today, and are always seeking more good people so we can continue to Be The Inspiration (this year’s Rotary International theme). Come visit and get to know us!

As we cautiously await the advent of Spring weather, this Thursday will be another good day to get together with your fellow Club Members for another great meeting.
Our program will feature Professor Luke Perry of Utica College. You may know him from his newspaper columns, and he's sure to have much to say about the Nation and body politic.
We'll have signup sheets out for the first time for the July 14 Boilermaker water station to be staffed by the Club. I'm told we need lots of volunteers, so make it a point to serve with Rotary this coming Race day. I'm excited at the prospect of doing this (we'll display our new signs too) and hope it will turn into an annual event. But we have to have many of you signed up for it to work.
Rotary is making a push to have Congress continue U.S. funding support for polio eradication. You can send a message to your representative, and a sample is available from a Rotarian who's spearheading the effort. Ask PDG Peter Cardamone, peterf7150@gmail.com, to send you the info.
Don't forget the happy hour mixer at the Beer Hub on Wednesday the 27th at 5:00. And bring somebody, either as a membership prospect or just for the fun of it!
Finally, although new and interesting things continue to develop in our Club (I'll be reporting to you on them), there's always more we can do. So keep an eye out for opportunities to volunteer and serve, and let me or a Board Member know of any you think of.
Yours in Rotary Service,
David Bagley, President
