We had two inductions into Rotary today.

John Oughterson introduced Brandi Ferrara.  Brandi started at HWS in 1999 and is the director of the Salisbury Center.  She lives in Seneca Falls with her husband and FOUR daughters.  She is also our new advisor for the HWS Rotaract Club. Welcome Brandi!

Lisa Ventura introduced John Rossi.  John is the Golf Professional at Geneva Country Club. John was hired by our very own Phil Beckley 19 years ago. He is very happy with how Rotary helps our community and looks forward to being a part of our organization.  Welcome John!

Program
Mike Rusinko gave a very interesting presentation on cider making.  Mike picked up this hobby after Carol brought home a growler of cider from the Rochester Public Market.  Mike and Carol spent the next year visiting all of the “cideries” that they could.  Mike attended a seminar on cider making in Seneca Falls and from there, tried his hand at making his own.  After collecting many bushels of apples, and with some help from Tim and Margaret Wiant, Mike had about 30-40 gallons of juice/mush.  Three months later, they were drinking cider!  A lot of trial and error is involved, and they had a few exploding accidents in their garage.  Mike says he does it because he loves it.  He’s not in it to make money, just to enjoy the process and the rewards.  Thank you for sharing your hobby with us Mike, it was enlightening and yummy!
