Sylvia did the invocation and member minute. Sylvia is a very busy mom and professional---and an even better Sparks editor! This meeting was centered on our 2nd round of scholarship award winners. Very special young people headed to great heights. We awarded another $12K in scholarships this week. 6 awards $2K each. These come directly from the club operating account versus last weeks' awards coming from the foundation. With last weeks foundation awards, thats a total of $22K in scholarship awards--very generous and very special winners! Well done Pittsfield Rotary--take a moment to be proud of this fine work! Regarding the foundation's Whitehouse account, the fines matched and directed to Jeff's program totaled $6320 and I believe that there are still a few pledges outstanding. The Board went through it's actual change of command ceremony. New board members were approved and there was a motion to increase dues to $360 annually. With that. the 2025/26 budget was approved. There will be NO JULY 3rd MEETING--July 10th will be the first new meeting with the new management team and there will be a board meeting at 1100. Last item---there will be a June 19th change of commend ceremony held at Camp Stevenson- Witawentin thanks to Kelly's help. The fun will start at 1700 (5PM) and anyone who can come a little early will help with traffic control. The camp's address is 600 Churchill st for your GPS and the following are the specifics once you enter at the sign that says "The Point". To get to Camp Stevenson-Witawentin – you take Churchill St., off West St, and turn right across from the second entrance for Cascade Street just past a black mailbox that says 630, there is a sign that says The Point and a half circle turnaround at the entrance. If you are coming from Pecks Rd. and come over the causeway, you are going to take a left turn after Camp Winadu before Cascade St. The directions from there remain the same, take the camp road over the first bridge, proceed straight to the fork in the road, then take the right over the small bridge and follow the camp road straight all the way until you reach the blacktop parking lot for the main building. |
