We are mourning the loss of our cherished member Jim Jackson, who passed away recently on April 20, 2023. Jim was one of our longest serving members and we will truly miss him.
 
Our condolences to his family who, in lieu of flowers, has requested donations be made in Jim's name to The Rotary Club of Rye Foundation, to support their college scholarship fund.

The Rye Rotary Club conducted its annual food and diaper drive throughout the month of November. This weekend, the drive concluded – yielding more than 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food items to help stock pantries for several local non-profit organizations. They also collected approximately 1,200 disposable diapers to distribute. The non-perishables were delivered this weekend. Organizations that benefitted include Bread of Life and The Carver Center. Rita Tino, Esq., a Rye attorney and Rotary Board Member coordinated the drive once again this year. “The drive is so important because it helps fill pantries in our area during the holidays. With the high prices of food and diapers this year the help for many families was critical,” she added. “Food items collected included oatmeal, cereals, peanut butter, soup, pasta, rice and tuna.” Ms. Tino thanked those who helped coordinate the month-long effort and collect the food and diapers, specifically, Rye Rotary Members, The Blind Brook Teachers Association and the Rye branches of Chase, Citibank and Webster Banks that served as collection sites. The Rye Rotary will now continue to collect personal care items (shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and diapers) for My Sister’s Place. If you would like to contribute items to this effort, you can contact Rita Tino at (914) 967-1001.

WHY JOIN ROTARY

Service Opportunities
Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both locally and internationally. Service programs address such concerns as health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. Rotarians experience the fulfilment that comes from giving back to the community.
 
Professional Networking
A founding principle of Rotary was to meet periodically to enjoy camaraderie and enlarge 
one’s circle of business and professional acquaintances. As the oldest service club in the world, Rotary club members represent a cross-section of the community’s owners, executives, managers, political leaders, and professionals - people who make decisions and influence policy.
 
International Awareness
With more than 32,000 clubs in over 200 countries & geographical areas, Rotarians gain an understanding of humanitarian issues through international service projects and exchange programs. One of Rotary’s highest objectives is to build goodwill and peace throughout the world.
 
Friendship
Rotary was founded on fellowship, an ideal that remains a major attraction of membership to- day. Club members enjoy the camaraderie with like-minded professionals, and club projects offer additional opportunities to develop enduring friendships. Rotary club members who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city in the world.
 
Good Citizenship
Weekly Rotary club programs keep members informed about what is taking place in the community, nation, and world and motivated to make a difference.
 
Family Foundations
Rotary sponsors some of the world’s largest youth exchange, educational exchange, and scholarship programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders and involve family members in a wide range of social and service activities.
 
Entertainment
Social activities give Rotarians a chance to let loose and have fun. Every Rotary club and district hosts parties and activities that offer diversions from today’s demanding professional and personal schedules. Conferences, conventions, assemblies, and social events provide entertainment as well as Rotary information, education, and service.
 
Ethical Environment
Encouraging high ethical standards in one’s profession and respect for all worthy vocations has been a hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days. In their business and professional lives, Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test:. Of the things we think, say or do:
1) Is it the TRUTH?
2) Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3) Will it BUILD GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
 
Leadership Development
Rotary is an organisation of successful professionals. Team building, fundraising, public 
speaking, planning, organisation, and communication are just a sampling of the leadership skills that club members can exercise and enhance. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in learning how to motivate, inspire, and guide others.
 
Diversity in Membership
Rotary’s classification system ensures that a club’s membership represents a variety of the community’s professional men and women, including leaders in business, industry, the arts, government, sports, the military, and religion. Rotary clubs are non-political, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
