Wine & Whiskey and TBR
A Wine & Whiskey fundraising event, sponsored by Twin Bridges and its satellite club, Galway Winery was held recently at the winery in Ballston Lake. Joining for the whiskey part of the event was High Peaks Distilling.
Members and guests tasted several different wines and whiskeys and learned about both.

Fundraising calendar will help area kids who need a bed
Twin Bridges second annual Calendar Fundraiser will help the Club build beds for area kids who don't have one, TBR works with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (shpbeds.org) to build beds and distribute them to those in need. Here's how the fundraiser works: when a TBR member asks you to take part, choose one or more dates and pay that amount--for example, December 3rd costs $3, December 21 costs $21, etc. If you've purchased what turns out to the winning date, you win $100 and a bunch of area kids will get a new bed! Your chance of winning goes up the more you donate. When a TBR member asks for your help please be generous!

CNY Area Rep at TBR meeting
Guillermo Trujillo, CNY Rotary Area Rep, spoke at a Twin Bridges meeting in November. He discussed what was happening throughout the CNY Rotary district, how the entity (which came about from the merger of three Rotary Districts) was working and educational opportunities through Rotary.
Twin Bridges Rotary Club
Selecting a Corporate Membership in Twin Bridges Rotary has been a great option for us at CAPTAIN Community Human Services. We share the membership among 3 of our senior staff and therefore find it easy to keep up with the commitment to attend meetings. At Twin Bridges our staff have had many opportunities to give back to the community through Rotary service activities. And, Rotary has been a wonderful supporter of CAPTAIN’s programs."
