The benefit concert by Enjoyous at the East Greenbush Methodist Church was a success. The band sounded great and about 100 people filled the Fellowship Hall. In addition, $600 was raised for the Saint Paul Center – a shelter in Rensselaer for homeless women and children. Thank you to the church for providing the venue and to the Malta Rotary Club for co-hosting.
Thanks everyone for participating in the Rotary Bowl-a-thon and making it such a wonderful success.
Carole Heaney has agreed to coordinate this year’s Easter Basket collections for the Circles of Mercy. Roberto Martinez and Jim Leyhane will purchase 25 baskets.
Richard Zazycki, Circles of Mercy, is asking that the baskets include:
coloring books, crayons, color pencils, facial tissues, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, hair combs, hairbrushes, small stuffed animals (age appropriate for 1 to 12 years old), toys, small games, small books, and different types of wrapped traditional candy.
We need the items for the baskets by Thursday April 10th. Richard had requested that we deliver the donations by April 14th so that Circles of Mercy can get them to their client families before the Easter holiday. Easter is on April 20th this year. If you cannot get your donations in by April 10th, Debbie Rodriguez will pick up your donation between April 11th and the morning of April 14th and deliver the donation to Circles of Mercy on April 14th.
The Dedication of the Viking Gym at the Town of Schodack Park was a success. There were approximately 25 people in attendance. The speakers focused on the fitness and friendship in the community. Credits were giving to Kiwanis, Top Form Rotary, and the Town Board for pulling the project together. Donations from Top Form, Kiwanis and SRC Rotary were presented to the Town of Schodack. Carol Heaney from Rotary described the Peace Pole and Ron Annis from Top Form demonstrated the equipment. Refreshments were served and welcomed along with camaraderie.
A good time was had by all.
Today, thirty-seven people showed up to support the Southern Rensselaer County Rotary Club’s annual bowling fundraiser. Funds raised will go to support the Water for Sudan project and the Anchor Food Bank. Also, the donated food will go to the Anchor Food Bank. A good time was had by all. Special thank you to Phil Kellerman for setting up this event.
Thank you to all the Rotary, Kiwanis and Top Form members who joined Schodack Town Park employees on a very cold day to work on the Viking Gym. Town Park employees continued post hole digging and grading while Rotary and Kiwanis members assembled the gym equipment. Coffee and cinnamon buns were provided by Top Form.
