A sizeable contingent of SRC members, family, and friends showed up for Thursday night’s pavilion picnic and baseball doubleheader at Bruno Stadium on the Hudson Valley Community College campus.

Unfortunately for the host Tri-City ValleyCats, it was a pair of losses to New York-Penn League rival Lowell (who also beat them the following day), a Red Sox minor league affiliate.

However, the Rotarians and others had a good time on the first day of decent weather this week.

In a Rotary ceremony during a break in the action, Murray Forth was honored as our Rotarian of the Year for 2018-19.

NOTE: Please remember, our “SRC Summer Casual” lineup of events continues next Thursday with a “Pool Party & Cookout” at Jim Leyhane’s residence, a catered cookout co-hosted by he and Roberto. They need to hear from you no later than Monday so they can provide the caterer with an accurate headcount.

What to bring? A simple appetizer or dessert if you like. Also, this is one of two dropoff dates for donations to our annual “Back-to-School Supplies Drive” in partnership with Circles of Mercy. We’ve published the shopping list several times, but if you missed it just click here.

(Thanks to Roberto Martinez for the ValleyCats event photos.)
