The Consulate NYC Restaurant 44 West 56th Street

"I'm humbled and grateful after finishing the NYC marathon, which certainly cured my jet lag! To those who noticed my recent absence and lack of focus, it’s been a whirlwind of fundraising, conferencing, and training. I owe thanks to so many people, especially Caroline and Abi—you make my life better every day, and I couldn't do it without you. My gratitude also goes to the Rotary Club of NY, whose support and good vibes keep me inspired and all who all kept me motivated."

Seven great new members joined our club within the past two months!

President Shawn and Past President and PDG David Del Monte successfully completed the NYC Marathon 2024 for great causes!

Joint Rotary Club meeting with the Rotary Club of Wiesbaden and our friend Thilo von Debschitz

Topic: The Ghost Army

Jacob Ong- President Rotary Club of Cebu, Philippines to update us on the most recent Typhoon that devastated his city and how Rotary Clubs from around the world helped his club.  The Rotary Club of New York knows first-hand how quick and cost-effective "Direct Emergency Ad Hoc Club to Club Financial Donations" are.  When New York City was devastated by the 9/11 Terrorist Attack twenty years ago, dozens and dozens of Rotary Clubs from around the world sent our Club donations, both large and small. Thanks to those donations, our club was able to provide vital assistance to hundreds of 9/11 victims, especially those that fell thru the cracks of our beloved city's safety net,  because of the generous Rotarians around the world.

Northern Cyprus Club Charters
One of the many wonderful memories of late NY Rotarian Barney Barnet comes from an event in which he was instrumental back in 2004. Two Rotary Clubs from the unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus had been having Rotary meetings regularly without charters from Rotary International for the previous 25 years. Rotarians from Northern Cyprus came to RCNY and sought our help. We agreed to help establish the charters with one condition. Rotary Clubs from the Northern Turkish side would work with clubs from the Southern Greek side, regardless of political differences. They agreed and RCNY facilitated International Charters for the two Clubs on June 23, 2004 in just 3 weeks.
