We are proud to announce our Penfield Rotary sponsored student, Chloe Chen placed first in the competition. Our other Penfield Rotary sponsored student Callyn Sanderson also is eligible for a college scholarship.
Don Collins, the oratorical competition chair said the judging of the students was extremely difficult. All of the students who presented were professional and spoke very. Each student had a current and relevant message that showed how the Rotary Four Way Test was applicable to current society.
Many thanks to the oratorical committee including Tara DuMont, Peggi Koch and Steve Brotzman for mentoring the students. It showed in their final performances..
Congratulations Penfield Rotary for receiving the Literacy Award for our "Fill The Backpacks" project. Congratulations to Dennis Shew on receiving the Paul Harris Fellow award!

Ten years ago Penfield Rotary began the Bike Drop in collaboration with Penfield Recreation and R Community Bikes. Keep those old or unwanted bikes out of our landfills by donating them to a good cause!
Our August service project was collecting supplies for 100 children at No. 54 School in Rochester. Penfield Rotarians and friends scoured the area for enough notebooks, paper, pens, pencils, scissors, markers, folders, glue sticks, erasers, rulers and water bottles to fill the bags. Members met at Harris Whalen Park for a socially distance sorting an filling meeting. The 'backpacks" were actually fabric bags with string pulls that can be carried as bags or used as back packs. We have been donating school supplies for about 8 years. We started out with just about two boxes of supplies in 2012. Boy! Have we grown!!! Thank-you for everyone's support!

The Penfield Rotary Club was awarded a District Simplified Grant in July 2019 to help fund the building of a shelter at the Penfield Community Victory Garden. The shelter will provide much needed cover for gardeners during extreme heat or bad weather. Additionally, the shelter will provide a space to the many classes the garden offers to community members each year.
The shelter was built with the help of Eagle Scout Candidate Ryan H of Pack 230, who secured the necessary materials and labor to help the project come to fruition. The shelter is a great example of how District Simplified Grants can be secured by local Rotary Clubs to benefit the entire community!
The Penfield Rotary Club held its Ninth Annual Community Bike Drop on Saturday, October 5th in partnership with the Town of Penfield and benefiting R Community Bikes.
This year's collection broke all records and Penfield Rotary collected 420 bikes in one day! Unwanted bikes are donated by community members and then R Community Bikes distributes them to those in need.
Tara DuMont became the new Penfield Rotary President for the 2019-20 Rotary year. Tara delivered her remarks about her goals for the upcoming year to Rotarians at the Club's Annual Moving Up Night.
Penfield Rotary Club recently performed two service projects. In July, the Club teamed up with Spencerport and Avon Rotary Clubs to serve lunch to attendees at Camp Open Arms, a camp operated by Gilda's Club for children whose lives have been affected by cancer.
The second project took place on August 9th where Club Members prepared a BBQ for veterans residing at NUCOR House. The Club prepares meals for NUCOR House residents approx. three-four times per year.
The Club's next service project is to collect school supplies for School #54 in Rochester. Club members will be packing 100 bags of school supplies to give to students. If you would like to join us, email us at info@Penfieldrotary.org.
Penfield Rotary Club collected school supplies for Rochester City School #54 on Otis Street. Club Members gathered at Mary Ann Mady's house to fill over 100 individual book bags with donated school supplies! Rotarians Mary Ann Mady and Nancy Aumann will deliver all the supplies collected to School #54 next week.
The Club has had a school supply drive each year for the past several years as part of our mission to promote literacy in the Greater Rochester community. This year, Girls Scouts from Troops #61001 and #60219 helped us with collection and assembly of the school supply bags.
