Our Rotary Club of Riverhead is proud to support our local veterans through generous donations to our local VHW, to Run4Valor (that addresses critical needs such as healthcare, housing and community support), and to support the veterans in the making through our local ROTC.

Riverhead Rotary is pleased to offer scholarships for high school students heading to college.  The due date for HS Seniors who live within the Riverhead Central School District is March 21, 2025.  We are offering 11 scholarships this year via this application process.  
 
For the full application, please look to the panel on the left of our home page entitled Home Page Download Files, "scholarship app." 
 
With thanks to a successful Rotary Walk, the Team  -- Kimberly Judd, Beth Hanlon, Dawn Vogel, Sherry Patterson and Keri Grace Najdzion -- was able to present $2,785.00 to Dr. Susan Lee (Breast Surgeon at Northwell) so she could purchase a portable sonogram machine.  

On behalf of our very grateful local Salvation Army, many thanks are extended to all the Rotarian bell-ringers.  Your service will do much to help the continued outreach to many of those in need in our area.
We Salute our Veterans
With prayers of remembrance and thanksgiving,
Riverhead Rotary joins our friends and neighbors in thanking our veterans for their service.
Join us next Thursday evening, October 24, at 5:00 for a night of fellowship, inspiration and laughter -- OH and pizza! -- as we paint up some rocks of hope to decorate the garden at East End Radiation Oncology.  Rob Stromski is hosting the event at 44 Circle Drive, Jamesport.  Please let him know you're coming, either by online registration, listed under Upcoming Events, or at: robert@stromskiarchitecture.com

The 2024 Riverhead Country Fair was another success for our Club.  Thanks to all the volunteers.
All of the net proceeds benefitted Riverhead Rotary Charities for our good-will projects.

 

RIVERHEAD ROTARY DONATES THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
IN SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
 
From the hands of community donors and many generous Rotarians, boxes, backpacks, and big bags of school supplies were delivered to the hands of grateful students and teachers August 28.  Many thanks to all who contributed.  We continue to make a world of difference for the good of many.  Celebrate the giving!

A New President Is Dawned... um, Donned
 

 

 
Congratulations to Pastor George Dupree who was installed as our chapter's newest president at our Installation Dinner, June 20th.  Outgoing president Dawn Vogel donned now-president George with a new title: the Apostle George (!), presented him with his hero's cape, and swore him in during a very joyous celebration.
 
Special thanks to Danny Lanieri who arranged for the dinner and open bar by the river's edge at the Aquarium. 
 
Read on for more details about the evening and photos.

Have some lunch, join the service and the fun... 
Here's to a great new season of making a difference for a better Riverhead and a better world!
