DeCarolis, PaulAt this year's Sunshine Kids Gala being held February 22nd at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center fellow Rochester Rotarian Paul DeCarolis will be honored as the 2014 Sunshine Award Recipient.

What is going on in the district?

 

Members who use roadrunner for their E-mail address.

  

For any of them who do not receive the monthly newsletter it is imperative that they contact Time Warner and lodge a complaint with them concerning this matter. We do have around 500 Rotarians (or about 20%) who use RoadRunner for their E-mail server so to correct the problem with them for not allowing the monthly newsletter to come through will be a great assistance to many of our fellow members.
