Wednesday,15 November
The first 'occasional' joint meeting of the Dryden and Groton Rotary clubs was held at the Dryden Community Center Cafe. The Dryden club provided the location and logistical assistance while Groton acted as the 'host' providing a dinner of chicken casserole, tossed salad, rolls, soda, and great desserts!
From 6:00 to 7:00 folks were able to socialize and enjoy dinner. At 7:00 each club took about 10 minutes to cover any business and tell the other club about what they are doing. Dryden is pushing sign-ups for 2 days of Salvation Army bell ringing while Groton is working on their Hurricane Heroes which involves their community and grade school students in fund raising for school libraries affected by recent hurricanes in Florida,Texas, and possibly Puerto Rico. All the dinner fees and both club's happy dollars for the evening were donated to the cause for a total of $172.
Foundation Area Director Evan Kurtz presented Ben Curtis, Groton President, with the Groton club's award from the recent Foundation Dinner for $100 per capita giving to the Rotary Foundation in 16-17.
Sadly Dryden's speaker, Jon Helsiva, last years Dryden exchange student to Germany, was ill so the rest of the evening was spent socializing, not that Rotarians mind that!
There was talk of 'doing this again' as all enjoyed the evening so stay tuned for the next 'occasional' joint Dryden/Groton joint meeting!

So this year we stepped up to provide ALL the gifts & food to a Dryden community family in need...
Talk to Chris S. or see the week 23 email for details
This year's winner was Dryden Food Pantry. Cindy Almendinger ran on their behalf and carted off $333.90 in food including and a couple frozen turkeys to be handed out at future Food Pantry giveaways.
Ticket sales grossed $1,267 with the net to be equally divided between the three food pantries in the Town of Dryden plus the Methodist Church Wednesday Community Dinner.
Thanks to all Rotarians who sold tickets and to Clark's for supporting this annual event.

Last Saturday was a perfect day for a run! It was mostly sunny and in the low 60’s. Well, by the end of the race it was warmer; it was pretty cool at the start! We had 17 hardy and happy runners on the two courses. Ten ran the 5 k around Dryden Lake and seven others ran 10k by doing 5k on the Schug Trail before heading off around the lake.
The 5K overall winner was Matt Banazek and the 10k overall winner was Dean Russo
Start of the race!
For complete results please go to: www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=118380
Many folks stayed until the end to cheer the other runners, enjoy light snacks, and chat with the volunteers and other finishers.
Thanks to all the volunteers and runners. We all are looking forward to 20 Oct 2018 to do this again!

The Solar Express project is underway!
This morning 4 members of our Rotary club assembled and installed four sets of book shelves in the Dryden High School/Middle school basement. They also improved the existing shelving by adding boards across the back to prevent books falling off. The additional shelves and, totes yet to be bought, will allow for better storing, sorting, and transport of the books this summer as the Solar Express travels the town delivering free books to kids and their families.
Thank you to Steve, Glenn, Tracy, and Evan
Feeling left out? No worries! We will be having a book sorting party later in the spring to finish the project.
