Notes from President Jeff Ugoretz:
- On behalf of the Rotary Club of Corning, thank you to all who organized and participated in the Pints for Polio fundraiser on March 30. Over $1,400 was raised for Polio Plus.
- Also, thank you to everyone who made our Ukraine fundraising dinner such a huge success! Preliminary numbers suggest that we successfully raised over $8,700 to help Ukrainian refugees. As promised, 100% of the amount raised will go to the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund for Ukraine. Further information as to how the funds will be distributed can be found at www.rotary.org/en/rotary-foundation-creates-channel-direct-humanitarian-support-ukraine-region.
- It was wonderful to see such a high level of participation from our club members and members of the Corning community. Without you this would not have been possible. I am proud to be a part of such a warm-hearted, giving community. In a world where there is so much chaos and despair, acts of compassionate service such as this give us ample reason to hope for a better tomorrow.
