Join us Monday, May 12th for the 14th Annual Law Day luncheon, at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center and presentation of the Henry H. Jensen Memorial Award to one of Rochester Police Department's "Unsung Heros" -- Captain Wilson Johnson.

Chief of Police for the Rochester Police Department Michael L. Ciminelli will be our keynote speaker for the awards luncheon. 

Captain Wilson has been with the Rochester Police Department for 32 years. The Rochester Police Department has provided Wil with many opportunities to connect personally and professionally with his police family along with developing long lasting and meaningful relationships within the community. Wil can often be found attending community meetings, guiding and mentoring co-workers, participating in clean sweep activities and working to assist populations that are underserved, homeless or victims of crime simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is known to be an excellent listener and a patient and tireless advocate.  Wil obtained his Master's Degree in Pastoral Studies from St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry and was ordained a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of Rochester.

Reservations are needed as this is a sit down luncheon.  RSVP to Brandi Koch in the Rotary Office at 546-7435 x210 or  brandi@rochesterrotary.org.   

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Rotary Work Day.  It was a great success and the Sunshine Campus looks amazing.

We had more than 150 community volunteers who participated in Cleanup Day at the Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus. Rotarians from Rochester and across Monroe County, Girl Scouts, St. John Fisher students, Isaac Heating employees and other supporters completed a variety of projects - such as raking, power washing, painting, mulching and more - to get the facility ready for the camping season.

A special thank you to Wolfgang Pfizenmaier and Peter Sarratori for cooking a great lunch for all of us.

At its February 20th meeting, the Rochester Rotary Club Board accepted the Rotary Award Committee's recommendation for the 77th Rochester Rotary Award.  This year's recipient is Thomas S. Richards.  Tom was nominated by Stephen Hoitt and Scott Rasmussen.

"Tom is the embodiment of "Service Above Self" and this philosophy is at the core of his personal and professional life.  His generosity of time, talent, intelligence and treasure in the Rochester community is exemplary and is reflected in his many senior level positions over a forty year career of work and service in Rochester.

              - University of Rochester President, Joel Seligman

This year's luncheon will be held Thursday, June 19th at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.

77th Rotary Award - Sponsorship Information

Many thanks to all for the memorial contributions made.  Your generosity helps support capital projects and items that continue to make the Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus one of the premier camping facilities for people with disabilities in our community.

 Rochester Rotarians are the best source of qualified new members--bringing their business colleagues and friends into the club each year. This past year we saw more than 35 new members join Rochester Rotary!

We need your help to achieve our goal for this year. Do you have a business associate or a friend who might benefit from Rochester Rotary through excellent speakers on a variety of topics at the Tuesday Noon Lunch Meeting, business networking meeting with other business leaders or service opportunities such as those at School # 8 and the Sunshine Campus?

Your Membership Committee is undertaking a special campaign for new members-PLUS ONE! We are asking each member to identify and engage one new member! Bring your potential new member to a luncheon or to an upcoming event. Membership Co-Chairs Mary Lewis Consler and Scott Rasmussen are happy to assist you, as are all Membership Committee members.

The proposal process is easy:

• Simply complete a short Membership Proposal Card, which can be found on the Rochester Rotary website under "Club Committees," and submit the card to the Rotary office.
• A Membership Committee member will meet with your candidate to discuss Rochester Rotary and to learn more about the candidate.
