President's Message

I joined Rotary because I wanted to make a positive impact in my community. 

At my very first meeting, I was amazed at all the good this “little club that could” was doing—from scholarships for Wallkill seniors and RYLA leadership programs for local youth, to food pantry fundraisers, summer camps for kids, veterans, and senior luncheons, global youth exchanges, and youth basketball and volleyball programs.

The level of commitment to creating positive change demonstrated by the members of Southern Ulster Rotary was another reason why I joined Rotary.  

Southern Ulster Rotary Club is part of Rotary International.  Rotary International is dedicated to causes that build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support peace efforts and end polio forever. 

Rotary is more than service—it’s also an opportunity to grow as a leader in your community and in your professional life, and to create deep friendships. 

Members gain valuable leadership, communication, and organizational skills while working side by side with local businesses, schools, and government. You learn how to plan, collaborate, fundraise, and inspire others, all while giving back in meaningful ways.

I am proud to serve as President of the Southern Ulster Rotary Club. Together, we’re proving that even a small club can make a big difference. I invite you to join us and experience the friendship, growth, and fulfillment that Rotary offers.

I invite you to visit us at one of our meetings or volunteer at one of our events.
