While vacationing in Jamestown, NY last weekend, I met up with fellow Rotarians from the Jamestown and Falconer, NY clubs. Tried my luck on the big 50/50 raffle, too. All three clubs were sponsoring a "night at the ballpark" featuring the Jamestown Tarp Skunks vs. Elmira Pioneers. Final score Pioneers 14, Skunks 2. Not a good night for the little critters.

Rotary congratulates the L/P School Foundation for achieving its fundraising goal of $100,000. By surpassing this goal, it now stands a good chance of building its endowment even further through a matching grant by the Ramser Family Foundation and additional gifts and grants like the $3,000 gift made by the Rotary Club of Loudonville on May 19th.
