Several county Rotary Clubs sponsor Rotary Walk in Canton Saturday

Posted

CANTON -- The Rotary Foundation Walk May 14 is a fundraiser to support Rotary Foundation work including local service projects like the Rotary Dodge Pond summer camp for differently-abled children and teens.

The public is welcome to walk with the Rotarians.

A collaboration by the Massena, Potsdam, Canton and Ogdensburg Rotary Clubs, the Northern New York Regional Walk begins with registration at Mulligan’s Restaurant, 70 Sullivan Dr., from 8:30 to 10 a.m. A $10 fee gets you into the walk and breakfast at Mulligan’s; $20 gets you that plus a commemorative hat.

The walk will be at 10 a.m. on the Remington Trail at Partridge Run Golf Course, right near Mulligan’s.

Registration forms and pledge sheets can be found online at http://www.rotaryclubofcantonny.org/DistrictWalk.cfm.

Canton Rotary Club is also sponsoring a buffet barbecue dinner at the Best Western University Inn from 5 to 7 p.m. that night. Reservations may be made by calling 386-8522.

The Canton Rotary Club is dedicating this walk to Charles Edwin “Eddie” Brackett, who was Director of Budgets at St. Lawrence University for many years, and was an active member of Canton Rotary for decades, serving as its president in 1962-63. Among his many community projects, in retirement, was raising money for the Remington Recreation Trail, to which he donated generously. He died in 2006.
