MEMBERS SPEAK

According to the Rotary Club of Lancaster-Depew, some of its most enjoyable presentations come from its own Rotarians.  A few times each year, the club get to enjoy hearing about other members' hobbies or some other topic of influence in their lives.  Some examples of past presentations include model railroading, travel highlights, and wood carving.   
 
This past month the club enjoyed a presentation by Immediate Past President Diane Terranova on how to make Maple syrup and Maple candy.  The club learned about sap collection, determining the quality of the sap, boiling it down, storage techniques, etc.  A labor of love for her grand-children, Diane has been doing this for a number of years.  As a result she has tracked collection data over that time, copious notes providing her more insight about expected results for a season.
 
The club will hear from its newest member at its May 25th meeting.
