Club Meeting 04-14-2022
Next Club Meeting: April 28, 2022: an in-person, hybrid meeting at the First Presbyterian Church in Corning. Please use this ZOOM link if you cannot attend in person. Note: apologies re the April 21 meeting confusion; that meeting did not ultimately take place.
 
President Jeff Ugoretz called the meeting to order at 12:15 pm. He started by playing recordings of “My Country ‘tis of Thee", the Pledge of allegiance; and the Rotary Four-Way Test.

Announcements:
  • We need two representatives from the club to sit on the board of Camp Star.  If you have any interest in helping out with this contact President Jeff.  The Camp Star Board plans to run the camp at the YMCA retreat at Watson Homestead this summer.
  • It appears that the club has raised more than $10,000 for Ukraine relief.  Final accounting still needs to take place.
  • Wendy Winnett announced that of those who donated $25.00 or more to Polio Plus, Jim Webb was the winner of the Amazon Echo.  Congratulations to Jim.
  • Wendy also thanked everyone who pitched in for the Polio Plus Brewery event. People seemed to have a good time and the feedback was positive.  She also noted that our work on polio is not complete.  New cases have been reported recently in Israel and Malawi.
  • The meeting adjourned at 12:30

Next Club Meeting: April 14, 2022. The next regular lunch-time meeting will be an in-person, hybrid meeting on April 14, 2022 at the First Presbyterian Church in Corning. Please use this ZOOM link if you cannot attend in person. 
 
Notes from President Jeff Ugoretz:
  • On behalf of the Rotary Club of Corning, thank you to all who organized and participated in the Pints for Polio fundraiser on March 30.  Over $1,400 was raised for Polio Plus. 
  • Also, thank you to everyone who made our Ukraine fundraising dinner such a huge success! Preliminary numbers suggest that we successfully raised over $8,700 to help Ukrainian refugees.  As promised, 100% of the amount raised will go to the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund for Ukraine.  Further information as to how the funds will be distributed can be found at www.rotary.org/en/rotary-foundation-creates-channel-direct-humanitarian-support-ukraine-region.
  • It was wonderful to see such a high level of participation from our club members and members of the Corning community. Without you this would not have been possible.  I am proud to be a part of such a warm-hearted, giving community.  In a world where there is so much chaos and despair, acts of compassionate service such as this give us ample reason to hope for a better tomorrow.
