At long last, the labor of love in restoring the pedestal clock at Main and Pine in Lockport is coming to fruition. The clock should be installed mid week (Week of December 8th).

Heads up! The dedication is Saturday,  December 21st, at 11 AM. You are welcome to attend...not sure how many people will fit in that area. It's only about 1/2 hour of comments and placement of the the time capsule. If the weather is too adverse, most of the presentation will be inside. Happy holidays!

Join with fellow club members as Rotary supports the annual fundraising appeal of the Salvation Army. Ring the bell and encourage donations from holiday shoppers.

Help fulfill our club's District Grant awardee as we distribute children's books to clients of Youth Mentoring Services

Two weeks without Rotary? Why not gather for unstructured social time (order lunch/drinks off the menu). Stay as long or as short a time as you choose. The manager says he can give us our own area. I have a hard time scheduling coffee with you. I'm not all that thin-skinned and would welcome a candid visit about how Rotary is meeting your reasons for being a Rotarian and how you see yourself contributing to Rotary.

President will be there for 1 or 2 or 20. It'd be nice to E-mail him if you're coming just to be sure there's proper space.

A group will prepare a meal for about 10 people and deliver it to Lockport Cares, 188 Genesee St. The meal should be similar to what you would cook for your family, including a main dish, vegetable or salad, fruit or bread, and a dessert. The lead volunteer should let the other volunteers know what they plan to prepare so you can coordinate. The lead should call Lockport Cares between 7-9am or 4-7pm the day before to find out the number of meals needed. (716-280-3444). On the day the meal is being delivered the lead should coordinatet o have the food in one location and then the lead can take it to Lockport Cares between 4:30 and 5PM/ 

Please bring the food in disposable containers or transfer into shelter containers when you deliver. 

Thank you.

This presentation (Policing the Erie Canal) is old school story telling. Topics includes policing during the canal era, canal districts, canal laws, the Sabbatarian movement, the Underground railroad relationship with the canal, and the canal boy's saga (Attached American Jails Mag. Jan/Feb. 2001).  I have a reproduction 1890s era Syracuse police uniform with some original equipment (it could be worn or displayed) to accent the subject.

Help your club safely do some community service - even during the current health crisis. As Maria Biano says: "bend and stretch!" Yeah, it's early but then you still have some Saturday left and that's what naps are for. You might want to bring your own gloves although the used ones we have are pre-Corona - 19 virus.

To  use a cliche' - Many hands make light work. If we can get 10 Rotarians out, we can socialize with a little more separation than usual. Register today!

The brief interactive presentation will explore the beginnings of Inkululeko and how a team of seemingly dissimilar people scattered around the planet came together around the idea that education can be transformative. This small but growing NGO has embraced an "asset based approach" to its work and we feel it's made all the difference.
