Hybrid Meetings Resume May 26th
The Rotary Club of Plattsburgh meets each Wednesday at noontime in the dining hall at the MHAB Life Skills Campus at 14 Dormitory Drive off Idaho Avenue on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base.
We enjoy the culinary delights of chef Trevor Laughlin and assistant Allie including homemade desserts weekly! If you will be attending our next Wednesday meeting, please order a lunch combo or dessert by midnight Tuesday morning.
Join us whenever you're in town or, if you're not yet a Rotarian, connect with us to find out how to join us at a meeting soon.
Trevor and staff serve up three combo lunches for the Rotary meeting each Wednesday. You also have the option of ordering just dessert and beverage if you have already had an early lunch (or late breakfast).
The combo lunches (which include dessert and beverage) are $15.00; just dessert and beverage is $5.00.
The menu for the upcoming Wednesday meeting will be posted by noon the Friday before.
Everyone attending should order a lunch or dessert/beverage by midnight Tuesday morning.
Everyone attending a Rotary meeting in person at MHAB will pay a minimum $5.00 to cover cost for use of the facility even if you show up at the door late. (We will continue to Zoom the meetings from MHAB live for the foreseeable future.)
Please contact Rosemary, Carmen or myself with questions.
