No decisions reached, but several strategies
discussed to further Syracuse Rotary Club future, including some fund

fiscally in the Christmas Party.

Report on Camp Goodwill
by President Schallmo
indicates the need for a new roof at a cost of $3800.00.
He suggested this money be requested from the
foundation. Before this is done, Brad Strait
suggested we get an up-to-date report on the total situation at the
Camp. Discussion followed pointing out we
hold a
second mortgage on the camp (Solvay Bank holds the first mortgage) and
apparently no payments are being made on either. We
need to know what is happening and whether
or not the whole operation is functional and feasible. MMSA
to get a full up-to-date report on Camp Goodwill.
MMSA by Jim Gladziszewski
to
donate $100.00 to District Governor toward a Paul Harris
fellowship. This has
been done historically. Money will come
from the Intercom Fund.
Brad Strait moved to donate
$100.00 to the Syracuse University Engineer’s Golf tournament. This will get our name on a specific hole and
bring us favorable publicity to a large group of young people. MMSA.
Brad Strait also announced a
Rotary Golf outing
scheduled for August 27, 2010. Save
the date.
Details re time and place will follow.
Pres. Schallmo mentions we are almost
out of coffee cups which we
give to speakers. Will bring up for discussion at
next
meeting.
Rotarian
George (Butch) DeAngelo is in St.
Joseph’s
Hospital for heart surgery. He would
appreciate cards and after a week or so would be glad to get phone
calls.
Pres. Schallmo adjourned meeting at 9:01 AM
Respectfully submitted,
Ray Leach, Secretary, Syracuse Rotary
Club.
