Wallkill East Distributes Dictionaries to Local Third GradersThe Wallkill East Rotary Club has completed its 13th annual dictionary distribution to third graders. This year the dictionaries were given to third graders in the Pine Bush Central School District, the Harmony Christian School, the Middletown Christian School, and the Chapel Field Christian School. Wallkill East distributed over 400 dictionaries in our area. The Rotary club has chosen distribution of dictionaries to address one of the six primary focuses of Rotary International, which is Education and Literacy. In the 13 years that this project has taken place, Wallkill East Rotary has given out over 4,400 dictionaries. In addition, we have provided English/Spanish dictionaries when they are needed. We receive the dictionaries from THE DICTIONARY PROJECT, which is an international project to provide dictionaries to students. Dr. Bill Bassett, chair of the project for our club, is pictured here with some of the third grade recipients.  |

Wallkill East Teams Up With Operation Socks HQ.jpg)
Logan grabs a breakfast sandwich with his mom at a local gas station each morning and noticed a man sleeping outside. He asked his mom why he was there and she explained that the man had no place to live. Logan took it upon himself to find out how he could help and Operation Socks was born! Logan reached out to HONOR to find out what he could do and saw on their website that they serve 3,000 people a year. So what else would an 11-year old do but set out to collect 3,000 pairs of socks for all the people HONOR serves?! Wallkill East read about Logan's mission in the Times Herald Record and decided to reach out and help him reach his goal. Sock goal met, Logan moved on to his next project. Now he is looking to collect 3,000 new or gently used towels and washcloths for HONOR. If you would like to donate please contact any Wallkill East Rotarian or reach out to Operation Socks HQ directly at https://www.facebook.com/OperationSocksHQ/ Wallkill East Rotarian and Orange County Legislature Rob Sassi recognized Logan last month for all his efforts with Operation Socks HQ.    |

Wallkill East Donation Pushes S.T.E.P Goal Over the TopWallkill East Rotary and the Pine Bush Interact Clubs stepped up big time in order for S.T.E.P (Schools To End Poverty) to reach their goal of $82,000 before June 30, 2016.
District Governor Nick Constantino made a bold promise at last years district conference to the co-founders of S.T.E.P Eddie Frank and Howard Goldin that he would promote their goal and do everything in his power to help them reach it.
In turn Wallkill East as Nick's home club promised to do everything they could to raise funds towards that goal. From that promise the Kids & Cookies concept was born.
A second coin drop at Sam's Club in Middletown and a fantastic Fund Raising effort at our annual Turkey Trot allowed Wallkill East to present S.T.E.P. a check for $5,000 at Nick's district conference putting S.T.E.P. over their goal. It was both timely and appropriate that Nick's home club put S.T.E.P. over the top at Nick's district conference.
That check combined with the first check of $2,500 brings the total contribution from Wallkill East to $7,500. Almost 10% of the total Goal!

A person becomes a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) when they donate $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Rotarians can become PHF themselves and they can also donate in someone else's name. When you give to the Rotary Foundation, you support Rotary's work around the world through projects that change lives around the world. |

Wallkill East Presents Check to S.T.E.P
Wallkill East Rotary and the Pine Bush High School Interact Club raised $2,500 to donate to the S.T.E.P program. (Schools To End Poverty) District Governor Nick Constantino put a challenge out to all the clubs in our district to raise $82,000 for S.T.E.P during his governor year. This money will go to adding on to an existing school in Vietnam, the Rose School, which will help to serve over 500 more children.
With the help of our club, the Pine Bush High School Interact Club did a coin drop at Sam's Club in Middletown. Over $850 was raised at this coin drop. Wallkill East matched this amount (and then some!) and our members also contributed to get us to our total $2,500 contribution.
Pictured L to R: Wallkill East Rotary President Carl Bonitz, S.T.E.P Chairman and Co-Founder Howard Goldin, Wallkill East Rotarian Sal Lucido, and and S.T.E.P 1st Vice President and Co-Founder Eddie Frank. Sal was instrumental in organizing the coin drop with our Interact students and making this fundraising effort happen!

You might just think it’s like any other Tuesday throughout the year, but it’s not. Since it’s the first Tuesday in August that means its “National Night Out Against Crime”
A tradition & celebration that started 32 years ago, to bring communities & their local police departments closer together.
The celebration started in the Town of Wallkill 14 years ago, and has gotten bigger and better every year. This year the Rotarians of Wallkill East joined the celebration with over 20 percent of the clubs members volunteering their time and energy!
We helped:
Cook the food
Stuffed the buns (stop laughing)
Serve the food
Clean the tables
Chaperoned the bounce houses
Explained “what is Rotary all about”
Wallkill East Rotary was part of a team of 21 volunteers that served close to 3,000 hotdogs and hamburgers, from 6 to 9:30PM.
This was our first community service project of the 2015-2016, and a very successful start to our club year.

The most recent report I received from The Rotary Foundation shows statistics for the district and club contributions to the Annual Fund. As of February 29, 2012 we contributed $20.47 per capita. We can and we will do better. Sadly, 27 clubs contributed zero dollars and 18 clubs are below the average for the district. So far, there is only one club that satisfies the requirement of being an EREY club - all members contribute at least $25 and per capita contribution exceeds $100... |

March is Literacy month, which reminds me of my childhood years in India where we had so many people, young and old who did not know how to read or write. We did not have adequate schools and many parents did not emphasize the value of education to their children. |
