LeRotary Notes The Rotary Club of LeRoy held its weekly meeting on October 21, 2020, at the LeRoy Country Club. President Mary Margaret Ripley brought the meeting to order. Jake Whiting led us in the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a prayer by Bob Carlsen. Tracy Ford introduced her guest, her son Nathan. President Mary Margaret asked for announcements from the club. Shannon Karcher talked about the Election Night Spaghetti Dinner (November 3, 2020) to be held as a drive-thru at the American Legion from 4:30-7:00. A sign up sheet was passed around. Scott McCumiskey announced he had handed out most of the Appliance Raffle Tickets to members. There are 1000 tickets to be sold with 12 prizes and a chance for an additional door prize. The 50/50 tickets are $25.00 each and give you an opportunity to win four, 50/50, and four wine or turkey raffles. The event will be streamed through Facebook Live on December 6, 2020. President MaryMargaret also discussed the upcoming Every Rotarian Every Year. Anyone who has questions can speak with Jim Ellison. Missed meetings were recognized by President Mary Margaret: Gerry Aron, Jim Bonacquisti, Jim Ellison, Tom McGinnis, and Jessica Strollo. Of those that missed most were able to provide make-ups. President Mary Margaret proceeded to the fining session. Tom McGinnis was fined for his daughter, Heather and her ATV racing on the weekends. Gerry Aron was fined for accepting his Rotary name badge. Jim Bonacquisti was fined for being on the search committee for a new LeRoy Chief of Police. He noted that Chief Hayward was planning on retiring 12 years ago but stayed on. Tracy Ford was fined for looking for 80s gear for a theme week at the LeRoy Village Green. Jake Whiting was fined for an adorable video of his daughter in her Buffalo Bills attire. Jake shared she is now 30 weeks old! Today’s presentation was by Dr. Shannon Karcher of Restorative Solutions Consulting. Shannon shared her background of 19 years in education and what led her to open her own consulting business. Shannon touched on how she is consulting with districts, teachers, and parents around Special Education needs. She is driven by the fact that students need our help and parents don’t always know how to advocate for the needs of their child. President Mary Margaret thanked everyone for attending and adjourned the meeting at 12:50 pm.
