On March 9, members of the Ellicottville Rotary gathered for some social time at Finnerty’s Restaurant and then hit the streets of Ellicottville to help manage the crowds during the Ellicottville Mardi Gras Parade. Who says working can’t be fun? Rotary membership gives every member an extended family and opens doors for more opportunities for community involvement with the Rotarian spirit guiding the way.
