Another Fall Dash done!
Despite the forecast of fog the morning was the start of a glorious fall day! Sunny and in the upper 40’s. Lining up for the 9:00 AM start were 31 runners, mostly women. At the starting whistle 20 folks headed off for 10 k by turning immediately right onto the Schug trail. This took them ‘out and back’ to where they would continue around Dryden Lake chasing the 11 runners doing the 5k. Dogs and kids were the order of the day with 7 and 8 years old completing the 10 k! A great big thank you to all of the runners and our sponsors. More information about the race (Map, Results, Sponsors, etc) can be found here.

Adopt a FamilySo 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 |
The 'first 'occasional' meetingWednesday,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! .jpg)  |

Thanks to all Rotarians who sold tickets and to Clark's for supporting this annual event. L to R - Dick Clark, Aiden Payne, Cindy Almendinger  |

The past week in Dryden RotaryMaryann Sumner spoke to the club providing interesting facts and stories of the Historical Society. A small, but hardy, highway cleanup crew worked 2/3 of North Road. Our club has a commitment to pick up trach on that stretch twice a year...let's do better in the spring! Evan & Tracy spent the day Saturday in Verona as part of the Rotary Leadership Institute faculty. They helped District 7150 Rotarians discover more about themselves and Rotary. Members of our club should look towards 10 March to attend RLI in Owego. It is certainly time well spent.
