Induction of Skye Belote and John Donnelly
Skye, originally from Maine, is new to the area and has a business called Sandhill Concierge. Call Skye for all those events that need planning and things around the house that need attention - she can help! Want to know more - go to www.sandhillconcierge.com.
Some of you know John Donnelly - he is not new to Rotary. John is a former President of the club and was extremely active particularly in International projects. John was awarded a second Paul Harris Award (Sapphire) for his efforts.
Following the induction of Skye and John, a check was presented to the Colossus Project head Lois Caldrello. Lois spoke at our meeting of 9/27.
Lois Caldrello started the Colossus Project seeing a need to help Ukrainian families escape the war and emigrate to the United States. The Project helps these families get settled and established in the United States. For more information, go to www.thecolossusproject.org
Joan Winters took out her violin and began to play. She even took requests! The meeting was festive in the holiday tradition - thank you Joan!
A big thanks to Gary and Pam McCauley and John and Shireen Aforismo for bringing in a wonderful buffet (food by TJ'S Restaurant)
