Oneonta Rotary was charged with coordinating the collection efforts of the 8 clubs in our District plus Hartwick College and the NBT bank. Over the course of two weeks it is estimated that about two tons of clothes and supplies were collected at the Elks Club. They were sorted, boxed and labeled for delivery to Hobart Rotary Club, where they were distributed to flood victims. Prominent among the sorting and packing volunteers were Larry and Joyce Guzy, Barbara Lilly (with a cameo appearance by husband Paul) and Peg and George Brown. For the loading we called on 3 Job Corps students who volunteered to help load the truck which had been loaned by Exit Realty. To help us load the truck properly Schuman's moving company loaned us Keith Wilson, who also pitched in lugging boxes.
The loaded truck was then driven to Hobart by Dan Mattice and the collections were offloaded in Hobart by Dan, David and Connie Mattice, Joe Fodero, Alan Sessions and George Brown.
