F
ounded on November 30, 1923, the Scarsdale Rotary Club has always been a busy and productive organization.  Fast
forward ninety years later and today we have 28 dedicated community leaders in government, business, and the private sector. We are committed to the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self,” and we perform numerous acts of service for the local and international community each year.

A
t our weekly business meetings, which are held at Moscato's restaurant every Tuesday, we typically have a guest speaker who presents an informative topic of interest to our members. These meetings not only enable us to do the good work of Rotary, but they also consistently provide fellowship and networking, and help to build solid relationships and lasting friendships.  At our last meeting we awarded more than $8,000 to six very worthy not for profit organizations

Lunch is $22 and guests are always welcome!

M
embership to The Rotary Club of Scarsdale is available upon request and with the completion of a brief application and approval by our executive board to all who want to help us succeed in our local and worldwide projects.

Scarsdale High School student Archana Ram coordinated a book collection drive for the orphan children that are in the care of New Seed International in Ho Ghana Africa


The Scarsdale Rotary club paid for the shipping costs to get the books to the 162 kids. It never ceases to amaze and impress me how one single person can make big changes in the lives of so many.

T
he Scarsdale Rotary Club assisted the Scarsdale Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFFA) at their third annual “Ronald McDonald House Day in the Country” event for patients and family members staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Manhattan.  Ronald McDonald House of New York, Inc. provides a temporary “home-away-from-home” for pediatric cancer patients and their families.  The Ronald McDonald House is a supportive and caring environment which encourages and nurtures the development of child-to-child and parent-to-parent support systems.

The event was held at Scarsdale Fire Station 3 and the Scarsdale municipal pool complex.  The UFFA provided their guests with a barbeque lunch at Station 3, along with organized games, and activities. We all enjoyed a special show from the Army's parachuters who dropped in from helicopters hovering over the area, followed by the kids swimming at the Scarsdale pool. 

Rotarians worked with the firefighters on everything from serving lunch and ice cream to chaperoning the kids to the pool.  The Scarsdale Rotary Club also presented each family with a bountiful gift basket filled with items they can use to make their stay at the RMH a bit more comfortable.
