Our club's lunch meeting on Wednesday, November 28 was a busy and exciting one. First of all, it was announced that our club has raised $1,617 for the Deposit Food Pantry to buy Christmas turkeys for families in the local community. We were very excited and proud of this accomplishment. Many thanks go to Sue Elinsky for all of her work in helping our club raise this money!
Rotary is also looking forward to our upcoming Christmas party and auction on December 8 at the Chestnut Inn. I'm especially looking forward to spending that time with my fellow Rotarians in such a beautiful setting. Thank you to Mark Tucker for making it happen!
We were also treated to a visit from the DCS Girls Field Hockey Team and their coach, Mrs. Heather Conklin, and the team statistician, Mrs. Margaret Blaho. After our lunch, Coach Conklin introduced each player, her interests, accomplishments, and future plans, many of which included challenging and exciting college and career ambitions. It's clear that their coach really cares about the girls and maintains high standards of them both on the field and in the classroom, thus encouraging them to develop not only into skilled athletes, but well-rounded individuals of limitless potential.
During the meeting, Coach Conklin made two significant announcements regarding her team this year. First, Lindsey Wagner and Emily Cecere were named First Team All Stars and received field hockey player figurines. Coach Conklin was also very proud to announce that Deposit's JV and Varsity Field Hockey Teams received the Sportsmanship Award out of all teams in New York State 's Section IV. Our club was very happy to have the team join us and it was wonderful to be able to congratulate all the girls on their accomplishments and great season!
