Meeting Notes
We welcomed visiting guests from Ukraine hosted by former club member Tamara Denysenko: Vakhtang Kipiani, Ukrainian journalist, historian, publicist, chief editor of Ukrainian Internet journal Historical Truth (Istorychna Pravda) and Ukrainian FCU CEO Oleg Lebedko.  Also at their table was upcoming new inductee of our club Lily Lynch, also a Ukrainian and past Rotary exchange student.  Dave Hannan, Past District Governor, is our speaker tonight.
 
Lily Lynch and Debbie Renna-Hynes will be inducted as new members during our meeting on July 21.  
 
"NOMO VENMO" says new Treasurer Jason Miller.  Please do not pay anything into Venmo until further notice.  Jason is planning to set up an account from for the club and wants to move away from using personal Venmo accounts as payments to the treasurer.  
 
Carnival Night at Camp Haccamo was a success as reported by Ray Holla.  No visiting Rotarians could attend due to covid restrictions but 60+ children with disabilities and 30 camp counselors enjoyed our bounce house and other carnival attractions.
 
Raise A Glass event was well attended by 10 people associated with our club!  All really enjoyed volunteering for this great cause.
 
Next week is a Board meeting at 5:30 and Business Meeting at 6:15 at Tasteful Connections.
 
Hold the date of September 1 as a possible date for a "Rotary on the Bluff" in Sodus at the Holla cottage.  Details to follow.
 
The "Gift Horse Beer Auction" will be held August 15-17 using the beer left over from the Raise A Glass beer competition.  7 clubs will be involved and profits will be split based on club participation rates set up by the committee.
 
Lots of great ideas to spruce up the Camp Haccamo Playhouse.  See Lee Steinfeldt with your ideas.  The camp would like to add "Activities of Daily Living" (ADL) such as kitchen utensils and regular household items that the children can play with to learn and be creative.  Another idea was a floor to ceiling chalkboard that can be used by the children to draw features such as fireplace or book shelves or family photo walls.
 
 
Program Notes

Past District Governor Dave Hannan had his District Conference cancelled due to covid so he came to our meeting tonight to present some awards that were planned for the cancelled conference.   Irondequoit Rotary Club was awarded the 2019-2020 Rotary Citation.  Accepting the certificate are 2019-2020 Club President Bob Scheidt and Assistant Governor Kenn Van Dieren. The club also was recognized as an Every Rotarian, Every Year Club and a 100% Foundation Giving Club.  A great commitment to “Doing Good in the World!”  Thanks to Kenn Van Dieren for his devotion to preaching the Rotary Foundation to our club each and every week (and now we know it ok to break some legs...)  In addition, past President Bob Scheidt was awarded his Paul Harris+2 pin.  Congrats Bob!

PDG Dave also reminded us that the Rotary Polio Plus eradication is hopefully getting very close.  The last 2 cases were in Afghanistan and Pakistan in January and none since.  Let's hope those are the last cases forever!  

 

 

Contributions/Fines
Many contributions for: our Ukrainian guests, PDG Dave Hannan, Judene's Dad, wishes for General Rappl's speedy recovery, and the volunteer effort at Raise A Glass.   Kenn Van Dieren challenged all to donate $35 to Polio Plus to ensure eradication and many members contributed.  Jennie Gugino invites all members to attend a free reception for Angels of Mercy at the Century Club on Thursday, July 22 at 6:15pm as they will present the movie "Voices of Inspiration" - a documentary about Angels of Mercy.  Contact Jennie if you can attend.   Andrea Sauer is very happy to be attending meeting after becoming a Mom and is happy to be with "adults".
