Our first Rotary Centennial project is the purchase and installation of ten bicycle racks throughout the village. With the first three installed, the dedication was held on May 21, 2004.

Our Rotary club provided financial support for the printing of brochures and signs. Volunteers helped with placing the signs along the routes.

Our Rotary Club beautified three of the approaches to Owego with the planting of flower beds.

Partnering with the Village of Owego, a kayak and canoe dock was built on the Susquehanna River in the Village of Owego. This allows boaters to have access to the various services the village has to offer.

On September 11, 2004 Owego Rotarians cleaned up the brush on the river bank of the Susquehanna River at Draper Park in the Village of Owego.

The Owego Rotary Club took on the huge task of painting 175 sections of railings on North Avenue along the railroad underpass.

The Owego Rotary Club was instrumental in the realization of the community pool that was constructed at the Owego Free Academy campus. Our club continues to support the needs of the pool and its programs.

Owego Rotary was instrumental in the creation of an outdoor skate board facility for the youth of our community. The most recent addition to the facility was a storage shed for maintenance equipment.

In the winter months, a picnic pavilion is converted into an ice skating rink. Our club supports the rink by helping with material and equipment purchases.

Through the NYS DOT adopt-a-highway project, the Owego Rotary has adopted a section of Route 434. Club members gather on designated days to clean litter and debris from this section of the highway.

The Owego Rotary Club participates in the Rotary International Youth Exchange program. Each year the club sponsors up to two inbound and four outbound exchange students.

Tioga County area students who are interested in becoming exchange students or would like to find out about the program should send an email to contact@OwegoRotary.org.

The Owego Club sponsors several students from area high schools to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program. This intensive leadership training program has a profound impact on the students that attend. Students are selected by school guidance departments based on the criteria of leadership, citizenship, interest, and academics.

The club started a scholarship program in 2002, awarding $1,000 scholarships to two area high school graduates each year.
