Mid-winter brings the groundhog and his shadow. It also brings Corning’s Breakfast for Dinner Groundhog Day Fundraiser in honor of The Rodent. Held February 2nd, club members working with the staff at the Corning-Painted Post High School cafeteria, served pancakes, French toast sticks, sausage and hash browns to several hundred people.
Corning Rotary started February with memories of recently passed member Dick Pope. Thank you, John Wahlig for speaking about all of Dick's contributions. Among many other things, he was responsible for sponsoring over 55 members for our club.

Dick Pope Obituary
It is with saddened hearts that the Corning Club announces the passing, on Feb 1, 2026, of long-time Rotarian Richard “Dick” Pope.
Dick was a dedicated 50-year member and mainstay of the club. He was also a Paul Harris Fellow. He recruited many new members, instilling a strong sense of service and enthusiasm.
