The board has reaffirmed a $5 fee when lunch is not purchased, effective November 1st. This fee includes full access to the coffee/tea/soda/water and dessert. We ask us all to recognize the valuable time and effort our caterer invests for our benefit (i.e. the linen, the coffee bar, her staff, etc.) and that this is fair to all concerned.
Hot lunch option will remain for $17.
A NEW cold lunch sandwich option will be available for $12, which will be served directly by Tiffanie in our regular meeting space. Based on club survey data, a large percentage of Rotarians expressed interest in this option. Pre-orders will be encouraged for this option.
Please use the order
If you have a unique personal circumstance related to any of the options above, please do not hesitate to reach out to President Ryan Lee. He is happy to discuss this privately.

Service Committee Projects for December
Holiday Meal Program
Our Rotary Club is working with J.C.E.O. & the Senior Citizen's Council to provide holiday meals to needy families.
This is the 16th year that our club has provided the fixings for a meal or provided a holiday meal gift card to area families. We are hoping to help more than 35 families this year.
If you are interested in adopting a family and providing a nourishing meal, please contact Bob Parks at (518) 578-8195 or by email at bob.parks2016@gmail.com. Also, Bob will have a sign-up sheet at this week’s meeting.
Christmas Bureau - Vicki handed out index cards at last week's meeting which included wish list gifts for several children from our community. Please contact Vicki if you would like to participate!
Food Drive - Bring a box to your worksite and collect food during the month of November
Holiday Cards - Grab a holiday card, write a message and sign it to warm up the life of people in our community. Beginning in November we will be collecting holiday cards (no envelopes needed) to be distributed throughout the holidays.
Both the Food Drive and the Holiday Card activity will continue through the month of November and into December.
Rotary Christmas Ornaments
This year's ornament is of the Monopole. Grab one for your collection. They make great Christmas gifts! Ornaments are $20 and can be purchased at the meetings or at selected locations throughout the community.
