WELCOME!
Rotary Connects the Community & the World Greetings, and Welcome to Westchester Rotary! Our Rotary Club was founded in 1950 and we are proud of our 70 years of service to the Westchester community and the world! Our mission is “Service Above Self” and never has this been more evident than during the very challenging pandemic. This special issue of the Argonaut will spotlight many of the 30+ annual projects that the Rotary Club of Westchester supports, both within our community and internationally. We hope that one or more of these projects will pique your interest and that you will consider joining us for one of our weekly Zoom meetings, until the pandemic is over, or in person at the Crowne Plaza Century Blvd., when we get back to our new normal! What is Rotary International? Rotary is the world’s oldest and most important service organization with over 1,200,000 members in more than 30,000 clubs
Westchester Rotarians gathered on July 29 for a socially distanced Happy Hour at Chase Park for their only in person meeting since March.
Rotary Club of Westchester: People of Action
Service is what Rotarians do! We seek out opportunities to change the lives of others in need. Rotary gives our members the ability to make a difference and provides many avenues of service for our members to follow their passions in helping others in a multitude of capacities. At Westchester Rotary, we operate in a “Culture of Yes.” We empower our membership to dream large in addressing the needs of our local communities and the international community. Our projects focus on literacy, peace, clean water, health and economic development, always working to make a better community and a better world. Through our friendships and professional connections, we are able to turn our dreams into reality and get things done! Come join in the fun and service! u spread throughout 160 countries. Rotary provides clean water to those without it, feeds the hungry, battles crippling, debilitating and disfiguring diseases (most specifically polio) and helps people learn to read and write so they can compete in the modern workplace. Rotarians are business and professional leaders who aspire
to the highest ethical standards in their vocations and who not only help those in need in their own communities, but who also seek to advance the cause of peace, understanding and goodwill worldwide through scholarships, youth and adult exchanges and humanitarian projects. Thank you for taking the time to learn
more about our club! We thank all of our friends and organizations that have supported us through the years and for helping us to make a difference! Together we continue to move mountains! Yours in Rotary Service, Tom Johnstone
