Help Support Our Local Youth through the Red Hook Rotary Foundation
The Red Hook Rotary Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation that was established by Red Hook Rotarians to provide financial support of programs and projects in and around the Red Hook community. The primary focus of the Foundation has been education and youth. We award scholarships to high school seniors, and support both the Interact Club at Red Hook High School and Rotary’s Youth Exchange Program. We have also contributed to community programs and projects including the Red Hook and Tivoli Libraries, local food banks and support networks. We also act internationally with donations Shelter Box and Aquabox.
Our guest speaker on Zoom was Rotarian Jeanne Conde of the Bethel Vermont Rotary Club who spoke on her district’s service project Amigos de Honduras, where Vermont Rotarians go on a mission to Honduras to offer medical and dental treatments, build or repair schools, build pure water supplies, and create school libraries and restrooms. In one recent mission, they treated 900 medial patients and 270 dental patients.
Our meeting was held in our new location, Locavore. Speaker host Dave Wright welcomed John Kuhn of the Red Hook Recreation Department. John gave us a verbal tour of the Rec Park, telling us about all of the recent improvements in this outstanding recreational facility. He also shared with us his plans for the future of the expansion and improvement of the Rec Park.
