This Friday will mark the 58th anniversary of the founding of the Southern Rensselaer County Rotary Club, known initially as the East Greenbush club, and we can be proud of all the good work our members have contributed to the good of our community and the world at large. Something to celebrate for sure.

Our “birthday dinner” this Thursday at Quigley’s week will feature ham, antipasto salad, chef’s selection of sides, bread, dessert, and beverages. And, of course, the cash bar is available.

Our speaker, courtesy of Ray Hannan, will be Samantha Raynor, manager of The Spinney at Pond View residential complex located in Castleton. The complex is one of a growing number of such communities being built in the Capital Region and, indeed, in many other areas around the country.

The following members already have signed up to attend. As usual, if you aren’t on the list and plan to be with us, please let dinner coordinator Debbie Brown know (mdbrown@nycap.rr.com) no later than Tuesday evening. Please remember, guests always are welcome, just let us know in advance so we can plan the seating.
