Ø          SPONSORED YOUTH:  Key Club Parents Night was successful.  SLKs attending were Barb, Chris, Kelly, Dale Hall, and Booker.

KIWANIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD

           Immediate Past President Alison presented this prestigious award to Robert “Botsy” Rosenberger for his outstanding service to Kiwanis ideals, his cheerful willingness to work on any project needed, and his quiet assistance to anyone he could help.  CONGRATULATIONS, Botsy!  He was probably the first to receive not just one, but TWO plaques—one was from the Kiwanis Club of SANDY Lake!

PROGRAM

          John Glasser introduced Sand Lake’s Town Historian Judy Rowe, who gave many examples of why she feels privileged to have this job.  Sand Lake’s history dates back to Indian times:  the canoe displayed in the NY State Museum came from Glass Lake, and Burden Lake Country Club is built on land which once was an Indian village.  She has worked with Eagle Scout candidates on their projects, and is working on a new book about Sand Lake {I need pictures, especially from the Kiwanis members and projects!}  During the Anti-Rent Wars, a Rensselaer County sheriff was killed, and is buried in Sand Lake Cemetery in the Boughton plot.  Moscow the horse served his master in the Civil War, and is buried in SL Cemetery in the Averill plot.  Judy has been invited to join the Dutch Barns Society.  NYS Governor Marcy served in SL politics prior to being elected governor, and also served in Abraham Lincoln’s cabinet.  Judy likes to help out fellow historians, and has a bottle collection from the glass factory at Glass Lake.  The Underground Railroad operated by Abolitionists was very active in Sand Lake, and she showed a copper token which was the price of a human slave at the time.  She is helping with a new book being written about the infamous 19^th century madam Mame Fay in Troy.

          Kelly Stone thanked Judy for her talk and presented the Certificate of Appreciation.
