Volunteer

Are you ready to make a difference in your community? 
We are a diversified, vibrant, responsive and community-oriented club, and we have fun! Rotary is all about service, both locally and worldwide.  Your skills and enthusiasm are needed to make good things happen.  Our upcoming projects include:
 
Spring Tea at local nursing home.  Join us with your crafting skills to create spring flower bouquets and cheerful cards. Serve refreshments and bring smiles and good cheer to residents and staff!
 
Adopt a Highway Road Cleanup.  Put on your boots and work gloves and come help collect the trash (and occasionally treasure!) along our stretch of Rt. 434. Believe it or not, it’s fun!
 
Canawanna Nature Preserve Bird ID walk. Don’t miss this one if you are a nature lover! Led by our local naturalist, this is a great opportunity to learn more about our environmental centennial project and experience the great bird habitat that it is! (Link to CNP on our site)
 
Annual Strawberry Festival. This is the crown jewel event for our small town. Serve strawberry shortcakes, work at the kids games tent, be a 5K run monitor (or compete on our team!). It will be a great time for all. The dates for 2023 were June 16 and 17. Contact xx to walk in the morning parade and xx to help for a shift at the Club’s booth.
 
Dicks’ Golf Open. Join us under the concession tent serving attendees at this hugely popular event hosted by Dick’s Sporting Goods. Dates are June 19 to 25, 2023. Contact xx to sign up to work at out booth.
 
Sundaes at the Farm. Hosted by a different farm each year, this event draws hundreds of visitors to a day of educational displays, live music and (as the name suggests) free ice cream. (Link to Featured ORC project) The date in 2023 is July 16. Please phone or text Kathy Seitel-West at 607-760-3162 or email kwest1@stny.rr.com to sign up to help.
