Anyone who is not playing golf this year, please bring in some wine for
our raffle gift baskets and golf balls or other prizes for the raffle.
Please make every effort to either play the game, donate prizes, be hole
sponsors or JUST ATTEND THE DINNER.
Barry
gave us an update and thanked everyone that has contributed to the
success of this gold outing. We have nine and possibly ten foursomes
for the day, and John & Bob are generously donating two Canon Cameras
and some golf shirts, along with our wine baskets generously donated by
some of our members, and some Yankee memorabilia for our raffle prizes.
Congratulations to Alan who sold most of our tee sponsorships. Way to
go Alan. The weather looks like it will cooperate according to the five
day forecast.
Happy Bucks - $37.00 Collected
Charlie happy to be here. He couldn’t even talk about the METS but told
us that he attended the MET game last night.
Richard happy to be back at the meeting and hoping that he will get back
in the groove again.
Alan for Joe V.’s operation on his right eye and for the glasses he was
wearing without lenses in them. He couldn’t stay up to watch the Yankees
but watched them at 5 AM.
Joe V. for his second operation that only took twenty minutes and has
successfully leveled his eyesight. For a break in the weather and for Joe
A.’s operation today. Joe actually asked to see the removed cataract but
was told that a mini vacuum was used to remove it and it was totally
destroyed.
Andy for the World Cup almost being over.
Debbie for Joe V’s eye and wishing Joe A. luck with his gall bladder
removal today.
Mc Fadden for membership. John attended a Chamber of Commerce meeting
this month with 300 members including 7 new members this month.
Barrry for the break in the weather, for all those that helped with the
golf outing.
Maureen for Alan’s legs, Joe’s Eye, to welcome Andy Robinson to our
meeting, and having Debbie here today.
Kevin for his news about expecting a new grandchild in January and for
Nancy who hopes that he is not running for Trustee again this year but
alas he is. Happy to talk about the Yankee wins.
50/50 was won by Debbie who donated her winnings to our Scholarship Fund.
The Queen lives as Debbie pulled the 8 of Clubs.

Milt Williams Music
Scholarship
It is with great pleasure that the ERC
Scholarship Committee has found a worthy and exceptional recipient of
the Milt Williams Music Scholarship. This young man has it all from
academics to music and will demonstrate his musical talents for us on
Thursday with a demonstration on his violin of some Irish and
Classical Music.
Don't miss this memorable meeting where we
will meet all of our scholarship winners for 2010 and the return of
our 4 Year Scholarship Winners.
Helen Williams will be with us to award
the scholarship.
At the above
mentioned meeting we had a reporter of THE WHITE PLAINS EXPRESS and the
complete article written about the winner, Eugene Bender that you can
find below.
Happy Bucks - $33.00 Collected
Today we celebrated the 47th Wedding Anniversary of Joe and
Myra Voves and Maureen donated Happy Bucks to hear Myra tell a romantic
story about Joe V.
We weren’t disappointed as Myra told us how she saw a special on trips to
Paris on line and mentioned it to Joe. Joe immediately booked the trip,
they traveled to Paris, stayed in a small romantic hotel, and strolled the
streets of Paris hand in hand. Such a romantic memory.
Also today we celebrated Magda’s ___th Birthday. Alan donated a check to
the club in celebration. Happy Birthday Magda and many, many, many more.
Myra happy that Rotary takes her
husband out of the house.
Joe V. for the 47 happy years with Myra. For his recent visit to the eye
doctor where he was able to read the lines on the chart. They didn’t ask
him to read the last one but Joe stopped them and said I can read the last
line as well. The doctor called that line the “brag line”.
David for his Dad’s continued healing after his recent fall. He has
progressed to a walker from the wheelchair and for his daughter receiving
four scholarships from the Pleasantville School District.
Congratulations, well done.
Barry for Madam PP and for Magda.
Alan for Magda, Joe and Myra, for his son in law becoming a Paul Harris
Fellow. For seeing a doctor today and hopefully is finished with them
since they couldn’t find a thing wrong with him.
Joe A. for the club, for Maureen the heart and soul of the Club, for Joe
& Myra, Alan and Magda and for his operation next week.
50/50 was won by Barry who pulled the 10 of Clubs. He was only 4 cards
away from the Queen.

To start off our program Helen Williams
presented the Milt Williams Music Scholarship to Eugene Bender III with a
Certificate of Recognition. Marc Baiocco, Principal AHHS, presented him
with a plague and read a glowing review from his music teacher, Harry
Rios, who was unable to present the award today. Then to the enjoyment of
all Eugene played a sample of Handelman with sheet music and Irish music
which he learned to play on his violin by ear. This indeed set the tempo
for the rest of the meeting.
The acceptance speeches from the students
were eloquently done and each of the aforementioned recipients told the
membership where they would be attending college and their career
goals. Our three returning college students gave us highlights of their
school year with their service involvements as well as academic
accomplishments.
Our inaugural 4 year scholarship student,
Robert D’Chiara, regretfully could not attend the meeting. He graduated
just shy of a 4.0 GPA and has obtained a job as a Program Coordinator at
Greenwich Associates in Stamford. He hopes to visit with us soon and
sends his regards and appreciation to all.

Maureen & Barry attended the Hartsdale Club meeting yesterday and it was
determined that Quad Village wants to go it alone for now and will not be
merging with our clubs. Discussions will continue with Hartsdale however
the dynamics have changed with just one club interested in the merger.
Attendance at Hartsdale was three members but they had one prospective new
member in the wings and one attending. It is my suggestion that we
perhaps set up a committee to meet with Bob Stern for future discussions.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
A proposal has been made to consolidate the Elmsford, Hartsdale and Quad
Village Clubs into one. Attendance has been low at all three and it would
be prudent for us to investigate if this could work in order to have a
larger and stronger club.
At this time, I would ask that each of our members take a moment and jot
down issues and concerns that they may have for discussion at a joint
board meeting of the clubs.
Within two weeks we will be meeting with the other clubs to see if this is
feasible.
