Join us on Tuesday, September 20th at the
Floreano Riverside Convention Center where our guest speaker will be Vinnie Esposito. As the Regional Director of the Empire State Development (ESD) Finger Lakes Regional Office, Vinnie oversees New York State's economic development efforts in the 9-county Greater Rochester/Finger Lakes region. This includes the dual-role of serving as Executive Director of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council (FLREDC), which is an advisory board that provides strategic direction and funding recommendations for the region. 

A lifelong resident of Monroe County, Vinnie grew up in the Village of Fairport, studied computer science at SUNY Geneseo, and worked six years as a software designer and project manager for a small database company before entering government where he previously worked as an aide in the New York State Assembly and served as an elected Monroe County Legislator for Irondequoit, where he lives with his wife and daughters.  

Thank you to Tuesday's speaker Dr. Kent Gardner from CGR. Kent discussed ""Presidential Politics, Public Policy and the Impact on the Economy".

Congratulations to Tuesday's TWO Bright Spots - Past District Governor and Past Club President Don Alhart and Past President John White!

These sessions are both social and informative. Strap up your boots and save the date, we will save you a seat!

Wednesday, September 21st at 4:30 p.m.

We hope you will join us Friday, November 4th at Hurd Orchards for a Thanksgiving Tasting event you will never forget.

 

As the lanterns and candles are lighted and the pot bellied stove in our market glows with warmth our holiday tables are made festive with bouquets and still life and are richly laden with our delicious foods. Our cathedral-like barn, beams warmed with the patina of age, glows with seasonal color. Filled with character and twinkle and feeling, our Tastings are a moment to share the depth of what our farm means. Our tastings have been featured in many articles over the years, most notably in Victoria Magazine in November of 1994 and Better Homes and Garden magazine in November 2004.

 

The cost is $70 per person and reservations are needed by September 30th. Space is limited so sign up today and don't miss this delicious event with your fellow Rotarians!
