Notes
We were pleased to have many
guests at our January 22nd
meeting.Wewere joined byDebra
Baris, guest speaker Dr. James
Sunser and Batavia Rotarians
Gary Churchill and Rick Ensman.
Guests also included three Le Roy
High School seniors, all planning
to attend college next year - Fiona
O’Connor, Rachel Gluckman and
Ali Weaver.
During opening announcements
we we r e r emi nded of t he
upcoming Super Bowl Raffle
on February 1st. Prizes include a
50” LED and a Tailgate Package.
Our Calendar of programs and
events can be found online at
LeRoyRotary.org. Sam Vagg
updated us on some upcoming
Interact events – there are many
fundraising plans to support
Honor Flight. Randy Vink
reminded us of the upcoming
District Assembly on May 3rd.
Five Rotarians in attendance
had missed meetings. David
Grayson, Jim Ellison, Erik Fix,
Tracy Martorana and Larry
Boylan all had valid make-ups
or put up green cards.
Our fining session started
with Jim Ellison. Jim is a
huge supporter of the Bishop
Masereka Christian Foundation
and they recently announced
the vaccination of over 4,000
children in Uganda in 2013. Mary
Margaret paid for her new status
as the go-to canning teacher being
recommended by the Genesee
County Cornell Cooperative
Extension. Her classes have
also been added to the County
Chamber of Commerce calendar.
Larry Boylan took a spin on the
Rotary Trivia Wheel for failing to
correctly name the three countries
still considered endemic with
polio. Tracy Martorana was
charged a few dollars for a picture
of the beautiful pashmina scarf
she lost out on at our Rotary
Christmas Party. And Cindy
Bishop was fined for her habit
of pocket dialing people, even
at 5 am. She did explain that she
doesn’t sleep with her phone, but
rather “hits it accidentally” when
reaching for the alarm clock.
With the fining session over,
Bob Boyce introduced our guest
speaker, Dr. James Sunser of
GCC. Genesee Community
College will mark its 50th
Anniversary in 2016. The college
currently boasts seven campus
locations as well as online access
to much of their curriculum.
There are several initiatives under
way including Expansion of
College Village, New Academic
Programs, StartUp N.Y. and a
Facilities Master Plan.
Expansion of College Village
will add two new residential
buildings with 64 additional
beds for the fall of 2014
classes. This will allow for total
accommodation of 453 full-time
students.
The New Academic Programs
initiative offers Veterinary
Technology, Sleep Tech, Supply
Chain Management, Event
Planning and E-Commerce
Concentrations. Additional
offerings to be added include Food
Processing Technology, Agri-
Academy and Nanotechnology.
Start-Up N.Y. is Governor
Cuomo’s statewide initiative
to create new jobs. The jobs
must be associated with GCC’s
mission and curriculum. 200,000
square feet will be designated
for GCC partnerships. The plan
offers tax-free status benefits to
both companies and their new
employees.
The Facilities Master Plan
will allow for infrastructure
upgrades to increase student,
athletic and library spaces. A new
College and Community Event
Center will allow for community
gatherings, trade shows, athletics
and student events. The building
will also house a wellness center,
additional classrooms, athletic
offices and childcare. It will
boast the largest expanse of
open floor space in the region.
The new Student Success Center
will consolidate Student Services
into one 9,000 square foot
space allowing for “One-Stop”
services. The new center will
allow more efficient use of space
and staff. Approximately 19,000
square feet of the space will
add additional classrooms, labs,
tutoring in small group settings.
The college offers a wonderful
education and is an economically
competitive choice.
