Rotary Day of Service
On Saturday, May 18, more than 800 Rotary clubs and 30,000 Rotarians across 10 states and 5 countries, from Connecticut to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Wyoming in the United States, plus the countries of Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, and England, volunteered in their communities for an unprecedented Rotary Day of Service.

Southold Rotary Club members and many volunteers worked together to build beds for local children in need. This was a very worthwhile and heartwarming project in conjunction with the newly-formed North Fork chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

Laura Goodale Award
Each year, Southold and Greenport Rotary Clubs donate a combined $3000 to Stony Brook ELIH (Eastern Long Island Hospital) at the Laura Goodale Award Dinner. The award is given to honor the dedication and exemplary service of a very deserving healthcare employee who embodies the legacy of Laura Goodale, a former Eastern Long Island Hospital nurse who began working there in 1918. Laura Goodale's 42-year service record as an “unforgettable nurse and caregiver” was so extraordinary it won her recognition as the “Florence Nightingale” of the North Fork.
 
Congratulations to Erin Corazzini and Jose Vargas, who were selected to receive the 39th Annual Laura Goodale Memorial Award, held at the Townsend Manor Inn on May 14, 2024.
 
Upcoming Events
Rotary Pathfinder
In 1987 Barbara Ackermann became the first woman to be inducted into our club and our Rotary District. From then until now she has been a continuous actualization of the Rotary spirit. We all benefit from her involvement and counsel. We miss Barbara's everyday dedication to Rotary and wish her well in her new Rotary life in Massachusetts!
 

Pathfinder Barbara is shown with sponsor Bill Zitek beside her. Shaking her hand is then-President Garret Strong, and John Kramer beside him.
