NEWS: The New Hartford Rotary Club invites everyone, Rotarians
and Non-Rotarians alike, to attend their Annual Christmas Benefit
Auction. All fund raised during this auction are returned to the
local community to organizations like the Hope House, YWCA Hall
House, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Crisis Pregnancy Center, New
Hartford Senior Citizens Center, just to name a few. Michael Knapp

advertising packages from local TV and radio stations.
The Christmas Benefit raised
over $7,000 last year thanks to the support of the community.
This year, our goal is $8,000!!! We are always looking for donations
for this very worthy cause. If you or your business would like
to donate a gift, contact Chairperson Mark Wilkins at 738-0733

This is an excellent opportunity
to get a head start on your Christmas shopping without the hassle
of long lines and large crowds, and enjoy the warm fellowship
of your fellow Rotarians and neighbors. So mark your calendars
now and plan to join us on December 1st at Alfredo's.
SEPT
NEWS: Since some clubs are already making Christmas announcements,
we may as well jump on the wagon and alert everyone to our annual
Christmas Auction that has been held as long as I can remember.
It will be on Wednesday, December 1st. We're beginning the search
for 'gifts' to be auctioned for community and foundation funds.
Thanks for all the hard work.
We are hosting a Belgium
student, David DiMarco. He is currently staying with the Cortrights
in New Hartford near Sauquoit. Adirondack Foothills Rotary Club
and Sauquoit Rotary Club are also hosting students from Belgium,
who may want to make contact with David.
David is a highly intelligent
fellow, very mature, and is dying to go fly-fishing or hunting.
I have experienced his company twice, and whenever I go to his
host family's home, he is tuned in to the Outdoor channel via
satelite. He has all the fishing gear with him, so all he needs
is a friendly Rotarian to escort him. The Cortrights are planning
to take him to the Auasble River later this fall.
Currently he is an outdoorsman
trapped indoors; so anyone willing to have him tag along, please
contact his host family, the Cortrights. I'm sure he could teach
a thing or two to any willing companion about fishing. David is
from Belgium, speaks French and understands English well. E-mail
President Craig Pugh for Cortright's or David's E-mail address.

Our most honored member,
George Crockett, was presented with the R.I. Service Above Self
Award, having " demonstrated exemplary humanitarian service, in
any form and at any level, with emphasis on personal volunteer
efforts in helping others through Rotary. This is R.I.'s Highest
honor for individual Rotarians." It goes without saying how much
George is thought of by our New Hartford Club.
