Last Week – Missed Gordon at 50/50!  It took two to do his job – John F and Dave L….but it was noted that with Gordon absent his table was packed with Rotarians more than ever!  Hmmmm…
 
Frieda Toth did a plug on her library fundraiser to get a “pie in the face”.  Well, - she got it folks and I saw the pics to prove it.  All for a worthy cause….
 
Ever been to a District Conference?  This is a great opportunity to meet other Rotarians from our district and come back with some great ideas going forward! 
The Conference of clubs will be held in Essex Junction, VT  May 3-5.  It is being held at the beautiful Essex Resort and Spa.  If you would like more info please see President Cindy.  Jim and I will be attending and would love to see more Glens Falls Rotarians there as well!

Board meeting report – The board voted to donate $100 each from the Foundation budget to the RI Foundation on behalf of Don Hess and Bob Krug.  A donation of $750 was made to the Hyde for their generous support of our Rotary Birthday Party.  A donation of $500 will go the snack pack program at the Queensbury Middle school for kids who need food to cover school vacations and weekends.  Stay tuned for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowlathon in March – we will support our Team to the tune of $500.  Lastly – we are finalizing the list of candidates for the Board of Directors for the 2019/20 rotary year.  Just one last board member slot to fill.  PP Harrison will present the slate officially on February 14th.
