GREAT COLLABORATION WITH CARING YOUTH

 As part of an extension for Earth Day, the Rotary Club of Westfield-Mayville conducted a beach clean up in Barcelona, NY’s Lake Erie shoreline.  This was a great collaboration of Rotarians and caring area high school students! Clean water and preserving our natural resources is a major initiative for Rotarians world-wide. 
 
Rotarians present were Mary Swanson, Steve Stratton, Jan and Tom Berkhouse, Barbara Fay, Mike Harrington, Jason Delcamp, Patty Benton (Community Service Chair) and John Hamels.
 
Pictured below are Kiarra Covert, Dawson Burick and Koda Houser. Kiara and Koda are WACS students while Dawson attends Sherman Central. Also helping today but not pictured was Yadhira Ortiz Kameron Cady, Alina Franklin, Brendan Wood, Charly Matthew's, Sebastion Hurd, Darien Swanson and Carson Swanson. Many hands made for a lot of trash getting picked up! 
Just a sample of the volume of debris that was collected is pictured below.
 

KICKING IT BACK

Now and then Rotarians like to just kick back and enjoy each other’s company. We gathered at the Big Inlet Brewing in Mayville, NY. Last week.  President Dan Smith welcomed everyone and reviewed some of the club’s good work. 
 
Co-owner Randy Henderson presented on craft brewing and the history of the establishment. He fielded a number of questions pertaining to the brewing process. 
 
The “Midnight Growlers” provided a surprise mini set which included Doc Hamels (Rotarian), Randy Henderson and Bob Henry. 
 
Good friends. Good times. Doing good in the world. Rotarians.
