Jody Wilbur, (center) was recognized with her first Paul Harris award. Jody joined our Rotary Club this year. At the very beginning of her membership she put her talents to work in organizing a Monte Carlo night fundraiser for Family Promise of Ontario County. The event was a huge success and raised thousands of dollars for the homeless shelter. Congratulations Jody!
 
Our club enjoyed watching a teaser of the upcoming school play, 'Shrek'.
 
Each spring the Canandaigua Academy Players visit our club to provide us a sneak preview of the play they will be performing. It is always one of our favorite meetings of the year!
Shrek will be performed on March 13th, 14th & 15th at the Canandaigua Academy auditorium.

On Thursday evening, July 24th, many in the community joined our Rotary Club at Kershaw Park to enjoy the sounds of the Finger Lakes Community Band. This outstanding community band is directed by Greg Kane. Despite the sweltering 90 degree heat, the concert was enjoyed by all in attendance, including a seagull who flew in for the occasion.
