Each year we distribute dictionaries to every 3rd grader in Irondequoit as part of our Literacy program. After our meeting on September 26th, several members from the club got together to place labels inside the dictionaries before we start delivering them to the schools shortly. As in all events, we mixed service with fun and had a great time doing so. Kudos to B.J. Cunningham and Kenn Van Dieren for their leadership of the Dictionary Project.
Irondequoit Rotary held our annual Installation Dinner June 26th where we celebrate the past year of service to our community and look forward to the next year. Outgoing President Dave Shaheen handed over the gavel to incoming President Bob Scheidt. Dominick and Marilyn Fantauzzo received a Lifetime Achievement award for their leadership with our annual Pasta Dinner which has generated over $500,000 over 35 years. Irondequoit Police Chief Richard Tantalo was awarded the prestigious Paul Harris Award for his continuous display of "Service Above Self". Congratulations to all those honored this evening!!
