It was the day that members heard from our Club leaders — a Club 28 Founded 1911 Club # 4725 State of the Club, if you will. www.buffalonyrotary.org It was also the day that Katharine Smith pulled a fast one.

Shortly after she arrived, colorful prints of the cover of Buffalo Magazine ap- [email protected] peared on every table, with a complimentary mention of Katherine’s (sic) business and her “I Heart Financial: Mary Ellen Puleri Buffalo” line of note cards on the reverse. While she claimed to be pre-emptively confessing to the [email protected] Phone 553-3670 publicity, her move was genius: no Finemaster today. By the time this appears in the Cog, the Statute Meets Thursdays at 12:15 p.m. of Fining Limitations will have run out on (a) forgetting her nametag, (b) confessing to the mention, Templeton Landing , 2 Templeton Terrace and (c) promoting herself under the clever guise of confessing. It was brilliant. If only she would use Publication Committee her powers for good. Heather Culverwell, Editor Associate Editors: Joe DePaolo provided the invocation, asking for resolve for our leaders. I served as Sargent at Arms, Fred Batson, Bryce Bixby, Jack Karet, but there were no guests and I never even needed to draw my weapon. Dave Male bought the ticket David Male, Stephen Robshaw, Katharine Smith after mine and won the Queen of Hearts draw, with a shot at half of a pot now worth $1945. He drew Suzanne Taylor, Jim Tyrpak the two of Hearts, and got his five bucks back. The COG (USPS 120-620) Issued bi-weekly by the Rotary Club of Buffalo, NY, U.S.A. as a source of Susan Schwartz was then called up to receive her third Paul Harris pin, which she graciously received information to its members. with the poetic words, “Why am I getting this?” Nick Alberalla reminded us that the Trade Show is the th CLUB OFFICERS and Directors 2016-2017 evening of March 9 , and that we cannot stress the Open Bar enough. Please show up. Then Vinny Paul Hurley, Jr , President appeared, apparently now out of custody. If you want tickets for Wines of the World, he can “set you Michael Sendor , President Elect up.” He reminded us that they still need auction items, but “nothing that fell off the back of the truck.” Joyce DeLong, Vice President Then the Club Meeting began. Bill Larkin had the tough opening spot, as our Finance Committee chair Katharine Smith, Secretary and Club Treasurer. He provided the accountant’s review of the Club’s income and expenses, and in- William Larkin, Treasurer troduced his committee: “a group of great minds I don’t fit in with.” He effectively broke down our Laurie Albertsson, Immediate Past President expenses, pointing out where expenses have been cut in recent years (President Hurley saved us thou- CLUB DIRECTORS with remaining terms sands of dollars by not going to conferences he felt weren’t necessary), and discussing the meal cost at Templeton Landing as a major expense.

With the membership still perky Susan Schwartz Nora Eberl from lunch, Larkin fielded the most questions (and suggestions) of any of the speakers. Christa Linsey Al Stocker Nicholas Alberalla Carolyn Murray Mike Grimaldi followed, as President of the Rotary Foundation. The Rotary Foundation policies and bylaws are up on the web site, but the short version is that they are concerned with asset growth, and they also consider the goals and vision of the Club in their decisions. Their expenses are the grants to ROTARY INTERNATIONAL local and international not-for-profits, minimal administrative costs, and the payment of $100 per member to Rotary International. Our net assets are currently $940,000, the bulk of which are perma- John Germ, RI President nently restricted funds. Unrestricted funds and unappropriated endowment earnings make up the rest Marlene (Marlee) Diehl, District Governor of the pot. Financial statements are available upon request. Laurie Albertsson then spoke about the Major Project Committee. Our current major project is in conjunction with the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. Laurie and Sandie Yeater are working on the global grants that will help our fundraising, and have received grants already — some which will be matched — and are waiting to hear back from other international clubs, including a club in Brazil. The Library is currently reviewing the Memorandum of Understanding, and was very supportive in pro- moting (and selling out!) our Laughs for Literacy event on February 17th. They have 30,000 cardholders on their email list for promoting further events to fund this project. Sponsorships of $10,000 and un- der for the project are still available. Jeff Fancher was the lucky guy who got to talk about membership. Long story short: the rate of loss is greater than the rate of gain. He pointed out that we are “currently in the process of reconstituting our Club.” Corporate Memberships have been redefined, trial memberships have been made available, and (with the help of Katharine “Joyce DeLong” Smith) materials are being updated and modernized. Mike Ryan has formed a subcommittee to identify local corporations who should be members — we don’t have the corporate presence that we used to, despite the fact that Buffalo’s corporate communi- ty is vibrant and thriving. Jeff quoted a statistic that said that 80% of Rotary members join at the re- quest of a current member, so you know what you have to do. It was a pretty meaty meeting, but was still adjourned at 1:32 pm. Well done, everyone.

Normally I can take a presentation and spin it some way to make attempts at humor but the Committee just keeps doing too good a job of attracting great speakers. How good was he, you may be asking? Well, so good that Jerry Kelly did both the invocation and the introduction and the speaker was able to show all his slides and have time for questions and answers.

  • The Buffalo Central Terminal and Economic Development Karen M
    FACT SHEET November 16, 2008 The Buffalo Central Terminal and Economic Development Karen M. Andolina Scott University at Buffalo Law Student 1. What is the history of Buffalo’s Central Terminal (BCT)? BCT was completed in 1929 by New York Central Railroad, shortly before the stock market crash leading to the Great Depression. Between 1929 and 1933 the railroads’ gross operating and net revenues fell; costs dramatically increased while passenger’s disposable incomes decreased. The railroads were responsible for their own maintenance and capital improvements, while the Federal Government was actively subsidizing auto, bus and air travel. In addition, taxes paid by the railroads to federal, state and municipal governments were being used to pay for their competitors’ infrastructure.i The U.S.’s entry into World War II brought an increase in freight and passenger rail traffic because rails were an effective way to move war goods and there were gasoline rations as well as rubber and metal shortages. While the railroads were now increasing income like never before, they were stretched near to capacity in addition to the fact that resources were not available to maintain the trains (materials were being used to manufacture war goods). Once the war ended, the railroads’ freight and passenger traffic once again declined.ii fter WWII, BCT began to decline, first slowly and then rapidly. It was completely closed in 1979. Taxes as well as other high costs of maintaining the building led to the building’s disrepair. In August 1997 the property was transferred to Central Terminal Restoration Corporation (CTRC), a non-profit organization run by volunteers.

  • The Impulsive Traveler: Buffalo, NY, and Its Greatest
    Back to previous page The Impulsive Traveler: Buffalo, N.Y., and its greatest architectural hits By JoAnn Greco, Published: November 4 For fans of great architecture like me, a collection of signature early skyscrapers and a Frank Lloyd Wright masterwork have long been enough to merit a pilgrimage to Buffalo. The city’s robust industrial past, pioneering landscaping efforts by Frederick Law Olmsted and a rapidly re-energizing downtown are icing on the cake. Buffalo, N.Y., travel guide: How to get there, where to stay, what to do Buffalonians know this. Everywhere I went in this lakeside city of 260,000, I encountered an enthusiastic and enterprising cadre of architects, planners, preservationists and developers dedicated to bringing what was once the nation’s eighth- largest city back to life. One of those folks is Tim Tielman, who, along with a few others, purchased the abandoned Buffalo Central Terminal — a 1929 conglomeration of Guastavino tiles, terrazzo floors and huge arched windows — for $1 and back taxes in 1997. The conservancy they formed has stabilized the building and set it on a still-winding path to revitalization. They’ve created a master plan for the terminal’s eventual development and offer occasional public openings to whet everyone’s appetite. I met Tielman, director of the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture and Culture, for a walking tour of downtown’s greatest hits. An opinionated urbanist and preservation purist, he’s an unabashed booster of this fortuitously situated seat of New York’s Erie County. “Geography is destiny,” he said, before sweeping through a brisk history of the city.
