Dear Fellow Members:

Our next meeting will be Thursday, September 25 at 6 pm at Moscatiellos.  A proposed budget will be presented and there will be time to discuss service projects for the future according to Rotary’s seven major goals.

On Monday, September 22 a meeting about the East Greenbush Backpack Program will be held at 1 pm in the school district conference room. For more information, please contact Peter Brown.

Today, the 16th, I met with Paula Sancomb, Director of the Anchor Food Bank in Castleton. The food bank is in desperate need of the following: boxed instant mashed potatoes; egg noodles; soups; cereals; saltine crackers; and peanut butter. If you have any of these or other staples, please bring them our meeting on September 25, and I will make sure the food bank gets them.

On Saturday October 18th, Maple Hill School is having a “Stuff the Bus” event form 9-12 to fill a school bus with food donations for the Anchor Food Bank.

In addition on Saturday and Sunday, October 25-26, Hoffman’s Car Wash in East Greenbush will be accepting food for the food bank. In exchange, get a free car wash!

Phil Kellerman, President
