At today's luncheon at Cafe Spiga, President Rob welcomed 9 club members and 4 guests. This was also an Open Cupboard Collection Day. Thank you, generous donors, and Bill C., who delivered the goods to the pantry.
Rob reminded us that there will be no meetings between Christmas and New Years, and next Tuesday, 12/21, will be our last meeting for 2021. At that meeting, Nancy Uzo will present the Annual Treasurer's Report.
Bob H. reported that our club members have contributed over $14,000 to The Open Cupboard since March, 2020- and this is in addition to the monthly donations of necessary goods! Bravo, generous Rotarians!
Jen invited us to gather our families and attend the remaining Port Jeff Sta./Terryville Chamber of Commerce-sponsored "Polar Express" Shows on Fri., 12/17, 6-8 PM, and Sat., 12/18, 12-2PM, 3-5 PM, and 6-8 PM at the Chamber's Train Car (corner of Rtes. 112 & 347). The cost of $15 p/p covers the movie, popcorn, a special cookie, hot cocoa, and a visit from Santa after the movie (bring your cameras!). You're invited to wear your PJ's to this event. Masks are required inside. There will be a limit of 30 people at each show. Jen also invites our members to the Chamber's Holiday Party on 12/20, 6-8 PM. It's free, but guests are asked to pre-register on the Chamber's website.
Rob invited Jen to introduce our guests, including our Comsewogue HS Most Motivated Student of the Month honoree, 9th grader Alyson McKay, her proud parents, Debi and Joe Mckay, and the school's Assistant Principal, Amanda Prince. Ms. Prince then presented Alyson, who was this month's selection by all of the 9th grade teachers. When Ms. Prince asked why they selected Alyson for this award, her teachers "simply gushed about this standout student". (In case she looked familiar to our members, we were reminded that Alyson was awarded our MMS Award when she was in the 6th grade.) A great student academically, kind, helpful, active, and cheerful were some of the adjectives used to describe her. Alyson, whose favorite school subject is math, is also a Girl Scout, and she helps out at the Chamber of Commerce's events at the Chamber's train car.
