President Tracy's Journal

What an extremely informative presentation from CDR Higgins of the US Coast Guard. He let us know some very interesting facts about deployment, budgets, cooperation among different jurisdictions, and the types of incidents that they are involved in policing. I myself was not aware of all that they must handle particularly in winter months keeping water ways open. The level of cross agency cooperation and in some cases international cooperation seems at a proactive state. I of course wanted to know some casual facts like what are they smuggling, But hey we ran out of time!  It was nice the Coast Guard John Braund (Thank you John) sang at Don & Mary Alhart's wedding and Bob & Nancy Witmer's wedding always a Rotary connection in some way.

 

On Thursday night I had the pleasure of attending the B2B Seabreeze event what a fantastic turnout for this event. Congratulations to Andrew Brady and Terry Kelley for organizing such a great event.  A HUGE Thank you to New Member Mike Mantione for arranging to have Rob Norris talk with us about the Park and the really special, special facts that make it such a jewel to our community. The gift bags and food were above and beyond! This location was a great site and perfect for a company picnic. I am excited about the carnival let's light up Camp!

Sunshine Campus Tree House

Thousands of local children with paralysis and other physical challenges will soon experience the independence and joy of climbing a tree, with the construction of a fully accessible wooden treehouse at Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus.

Rochester Rotary has announced that we will build a fully accessible wooden treehouse at our campus, the first of its kind in the Finger Lakes region. When constructed, the treehouse will feature wheelchair-accessible ramps, wide platforms, sensory equipment for enhanced learning, a cabin enclosure and tree-top views for campers. Built between eight existing trees at the campus, the treehouse will gradually rise to a maximum height of 12 to 14 feet above the ground.

  • 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.
  • The Membership Committee member will share information with the committee and make a recommendation for Board approval.
