Do you have a passion for serving your local and global community? Join Schenectady Rotary Thursdays from Noon - 1pm at Turf Tavern, Scotia, NY.
Email [email protected] for more information. Visitors and guests encouraged to attend. Rotary is a all volunteer organization of 1.2 million business and professional leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace. About 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas conduct projects to address today's challenges — including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, and environmental concerns — while encouraging high ethical standards in all
vocations. The Schenectady Rotary Club is one of those 32,000 clubs, and it is one that we are very proud of. Locally we have about 80 community leaders that are our members. We have been around for over 90 years, but we stay very current in our involvement. Our Rotary Club sponsors numerous charitable organizations locally and internationally, and we have a lot of fun doing it.

This year's District Conference theme is Brain Health & Mental Wellness 🎉
If you have heard from CNY President Pamela, you know that this is her passion in life. And we know that mental wellness is a passion of Rotary thanks to Past RI President Gordon McInally.
The conference weekend will include opportunities to learn about brain health, find new ways to relax, and experience in real time the power of togetherness for both physical and emotional brain health.
We are excited to roll out some of the features of a full weekend conference that are being planned to benefit our hearts and minds!
