It has been wonderful gathering together in person at daNina's to reconnect with our fellow Rotarians.  
There are a few new opportunities for service and fellowship as we enter into the warmer Spring weather.
Looking forward to serving together with you very soon!
Rotarians Needed for Suffern High School Career Day
Amy MacKenzie is  organizing a career day for students at Suffern High School on Friday May 20th from 9:30-12:00. She is hoping to get some Rotarians to help at the event. Last year, club members participated in our virtual career day but this year it will be in person. Students will come into the SHS Library to learn about different careers. Volunteers are needed to present.
Volunteers can contact me at amackenzie@sufferncentral.org. Thank you!
