On Saturday, May 13th, Corning Rotary collaborated with Friends of the Chemung River Watershed for a river cleanup initiative, demonstrating the Rotary spirit of service. From 10 am to noon, a dedicated group of volunteers, including students from Interact participated in the event. Interact, a Rotary organization for youth, fosters leadership and community engagement among young individuals.

Rotarian Yumiko organized the event. She ensured the success of the river cleanup, bringing together the Corning Rotarians, Interact students, and Friends of the Chemung River Watershed. Through Yumiko's guidance, the group made a significant contribution to the preservation and well-being of the Chemung River, exemplified Rotary's commitment to empowering young minds, and making a positive impact in the community. Thank you to all the volunteers. Coming up next - Highway Cleanup!

The Camp Star Board is planning its Annual Golf Tournament. The Golf Tournament will be held at the Indian Hills Golf Course on Monday July 24, 2023. Sponsorship, donations, and golfer entry fees will be used to support 60 children for six days at camp. 

Camp Star is a summer camp for handicapped children between the ages of 6 and 12 years of age that otherwise cannot attend camp. This camp is held annually at the YMCA at Watson Woods in August and the funds from this tournament will help to allow us to offer this camp at no cost to the camper. The cost is over $500.00 per camper for an entire week of fun.
