HOLD September 10 for Battle of plattsburgh festivities

Two signature events, The Bed Race and the Roducky Derby are quickly approaching. Please mark your calendar for Sept. 10 to lend a hand during these fun-filled Battle of Plattsburgh events.

As of last week, $1,925 has been raised for the Roducky Derby. Ed Kirby is challenging all Rotarians to each sell 5 ducks. Doing so would bring the club to $1,000 from goal before the day of the event.
The Bed Race Committee would like sponsors to consider creating their own team to run the race this year rather than relying on the college students. Team members could be your employees, children, friends, etc. - get out there and have fun!
