    You can actually save three lives with your blood donation!

    The Ithaca Rotary Blood Drive for the Red Cross is coming up on Saturday, June 28. It will be located at the Holiday Inn in Downtown Ithaca from 9 am – 2 pm. Please contact Sue Munson at 327-2750 or 533-8773 to reserve your slot to give blood.

  • There is still time to give to Polio Eradication

    If you are still interested in donating your important financial gift to the Rotary International Polio Eradication efforts, you may still do so through the month of June. Our club has done absolutely amazing, and we can keep on going!

    So far, the all of RI has raised $88 million above our $80 million goal, and our club has already hit the $50,000 mark thanks to the amazing spur-of-the-moment gift from Larry Baum that pushed us over that landmark level.

  • A letter from Maurice Edorh, GSE Team Leader

    "This is to inform you that my GSE team has arrived safely home. I have resumed my daily work. On behalf of my team from District 9100, I am delighted to thank all Rotarians for what they done to make our stay in your District so unforgettable and successful.

    Yours sincerely, Maurice"

"Farwell to our Rotary Exchange Students"

Our Rotary Exchange Students, Risa Takashima from Japan, Samuel Dricot from Belgium, and Ariel Arandia from Bolivia each spoke to our club about their experiences over the past year in Ithaca, New York. They all learned a great deal, had lots of fun, made many new friends, and will always remember their time in Ithaca.

Of course, our Rotary Exchange Student program could not succeed without the wonderful and dedicated support from our local host families and for all of the support from our club members. Thank you for all of your support and making this year’s exchange program a great success.
