We’ve just added another event to our “Summer Casual” calendar, and it’s not on our usual Thursday.

Debbie Rodriguez and Pat Bailey will co-host “Sundaes On Sunday,” an event that’s sure to be an attraction for our younger members looking for family-friendly Rotary socializing.

It will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, August 12, at the Rodriguez residence, 121 Lape Road, Nassau (that’s the postal address; it actually is in Schodack).

It’s a make-your-own ice cream sundae bar to help initiate Debbie and Chuck’s new porch. Various flavors of ice cream with all the toppings, as well as other dessert offerings, will be available for all ages. Beverages also will be provided.

And, if you or your little ones would like, you can go for a dip in the pool (see photo above with Chuck testing the waters.)

Deadline for reservations is Tuesday, August 7. A $10 individual donation (or $15 per family) will go toward our ongoing support of the Freedom From Fistula Foundation. Please make your reservation by emailing Debbie (debannrod@yahoo.com) or Pat (pbailey7@nycap.rr.com) or by calling 518-766-0215.
