Announcements:  Pres. Moran reports that we are still $6500 short in our budget for the Pier Festival.  We are still looking for businesses or individuals who might want to become community sponsors.  If you know of anyone that could do this, see Pres. Moran or one of the Pier festival committee.

The 4th of July parade had several of our members marching, along with the Sneaker Mobile.  Thanks to those members who attended this event.

Report Card Day:  The student crowd for this event at Canandaigua Lady was not well attended.  The Board of our club has decided to "opt out" of this event next year, and let the K club handle the whole thing.

Ontario County Historical Society is holding a  special Jazz Concert at Steamboat Landing on July 30th.  See Ed Varno if you're interested in attending.

Exchange Students:  Both Enrico and Maria are on the nation-wide bus tour.  Enrico texts Ken Poole on a regular basis.  Our summer visitor from Italy will be arriving soon, and will be staying with the Holbrook family - the parents of our outbound student.
